Then type startx and you will be in as root. I hope it works for you. I believe if you log in in console mode (run level 3) you can log in as root.

After I do that, will I be able to use the guest OS on another computer that has no VirtualBox installed but has that external HDD hooked on the USB port?" I wanted to do the same thing, but i see: it's not supported but i don't know why... You can only manage virtual-disk files, but no real hdd-s of the host system... “I am about to try to install VirtualBox AND guest OS on an external HDD.

I run Vista Ultimate SP1 on 256MB RAM and 32MB GPU (With 800MHz CPU), and the fact that it is running really well amazes me. Of course you have to edit a DLL file in order to install it, but still... It is nice looking, but I still prefer Vista. Although i prefer Linux over Windows, so dont think that I am some sort of Windows Fanboy ;) Actually, Vixta might be less resource hungry, but the fact is that it will never get the feel of Vista.
