Hello
I have Linux Mint 4.0 Daryna and I am using the Sun Xvm Virtualbox 1.60 (not the OSE version). I have a WinXP VD that I am using and it works great.
I recently noticed that Virtualbox was up to 2.0.2 so I want to upgrade. Will my WinXP VD still work? Also I assume I want to download the Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon version (since that is what Mint is based on).
Just wanted to be safe before doing anything LOL

When I updated Virtualbox, the application offered to automatically update the virtual machine for me.
(And just in case you weren't aware of this function...)
You may want to do a "VBoxManage clonevdi <input.vdi> <newcopy.vdi>" to create a backup of your virtual machine - just in case you need to go back !
Good luck.... -
I did the update and it went fine ... I didn't have to update the VDI file just the "Guest Additions" ... so all in all it went smoothly.
Now that I remember or think about it I did have to update the VDI the last time I upgraded (which was from the OSE 1.5x version to the Sun non-OSE 1.6x version) but this time it didn't ask to do that so I guess it didn't need to be done.
VirtualBox is the best thing since sliced bread
