+    <h2>Start up the VM</h2>
+    <p>Using the virtualbox interface, you should now be able to start your
+      virtual machine.&nbsp; Virtualbox will complain if it detects any
+      remaining configuration problems in the VM, but it should start
+      normally.&nbsp; The Linux boot sequence will show many lines of text,
+      before bringing up a black console window with a login dialog.</p>
+    <p>You can log in directly on the VM console with the developer account, but
+      it is generally more useful to connect to the cakelampvm over ssh.&nbsp;
+      If the networking has been established properly, you should be able to do
+      this with:</p>
+    <pre>ssh developer@cakelampvm.com&nbsp; (or equivalent with your ssh client)</pre>
+    <p>And then provide the password to log in.</p>
+    <p>A feature called "X forwarding" is enabled, so if you start graphical
+      applications on the VM, you can display them from an appropriately
+      configured host.&nbsp; (If you're running Linux as the host for the VM,
+      you can definitely run remote windows.&nbsp; Windows may not support
+      that.)</p>

     <h2>Using the guest VM's DNS services</h2>
     <p>The cakelampvm has been set up to provide a DNS server which will answer
       name requests for all of the sites that the VM hosts.</p>
