Just come across another issue you may want to document.  It's not trivial 
to get stuff on and off the VM.  If you install the Guest additions, copy 
and paste works fine.  However, I wasn't able to find an easy way to 
transfer files (e.g. patches).  I was initially able to use the Windows 
network, but at some point that stopped working - I think it must have been 
when I went from live to the installed version.  I couldn't get ftp to work. 
In the end I resorted to Google and the VBox manual and it said that to get 
ftp working you need to change the setup from NAT network to Bridged.  I did 
this and lo - Windows network is back, as is ftp.  Might be worth a line in 
the CG to set up the VM as bridged.
