I am also new to virtual box, what is a snapshot? i only used it for windows
office so it wont be acuiring 20gb anytime soon...

I have another query however, I wanted to run puppy lighthouse linux in virtual
box becase when I went to install it to my old laptop it wouldnt install, it
just skipped the process of writing data to the drive and went straight to the
grub options, i wanted to see if this was recreated in virtualbox on my pc,
however, the display options are an issue, it cant find one to use on my desktop
virtual box with which I am running ubuntu 10.4. When i went to display settings
it doesnt tell me what it is telling the virtual machines what it has access to.
How can i go about finding out what to tell it? The auto config for the
xorgwizard doesnt get it.
