VirtualBox Appliances Must Be Cleared or Cloned before use.

This has been confirmed today in tests and discussion on #sugar with 
silbe; Cerlyn; dogi; satellit; and Robot101:

This MUST BE DONE or collisions on f1 neighborhood view of the jabber, 
or local network, will occur between separate copies of the identical 
appliance.
This will result in blanking of the f1 neighborhood view.

VERY IMPORTANT

1-)
To Make a new VM (clear the journal and all identity information)
 enter the command "rm ~ rf /.sugar" in terminal;
 then sudo su, (password) then in root terminal: "shutdown -h now"
 This will clear the user information on your VM and let you start with 
a new install.

do "ls -a" in sugar-terminal to be sure that '''.sugar''' is visible in 
the terminal.

2-)
To Clone a VM or UNUSER[1] ie; keep the journal contents with it's 
installed .xo applications
 enter the command "rm ~/.sugar/default/owner.key*"  in sugar terminal
 then sudo su, (password)then in root terminal: "shutdown -h now"

Export the VirtualBox; or Clone the VMworkstation; before opening the 
Emulator/Appliance files again.
