I have an alternate distro called Bodhi, which I would like to convert. I’ll try out using your tut, see if I can convert existing system for use in Virtualbox. Thank you.

Sorry for asking, but what is QEMU and does anyone have a link to download it?

Excellent! The 2nd method worked fine for me with VirtualBox OSE 4.0.4 on Ubuntu 11.04.

This 1st method didn’t work, cause I haven’t found the mentioned “Add”-Button.
