Fedora10-snap2-i386-DVD installed on F9 host in VBox-2.0.2
Very good - much less overhead - less than an hour to firstboot.
Installed default except for EXT4 on /.

Many things that need adjusting are blocked by false selinux avc messages caused by kernel.
And some key screens for making the adjustments have no sizing and therefore can not be saved, closed, seen.
The screen resolution only has 800x600 and 640x480 with no xorg.conf.

It's like doing Hi-Tech surgery through the navel with a 2 inch camera. :)

I got the resolutions working with a full Monitor section and the Monitor id referenced in the screen section.
evdev does the #keyboard and #mouse, the Modes are ignored and VBox supplies all that are valid.
After the Desktop comes up, set the correct moe via menu (sometimes it is bigger logically than physically.
Now I configure e-mail, ...and other programs..
