Thanks Walter :-)

Jeremy, the two links to pass onto your Sun contacts are
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/VirtualBox 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/VirtualBox 

After giving this a tryout, they can then directly work with Walter and the Wiki pages. If they get it working ... they could also publish and share the working images here,
