fedora on virtualbox

[Mike Wright]

Hi all,

I've spent 7 hours so far trying to install fc4/fc6/centos5 onto 
virtualbox on two different machines and in every case the host freezes 
and requires a hard reset.  On the laptop it actually powers off when it 
hits whatever the problem is.

I've no problem installing (gag me) XP.

Has anybody had any success installing fedora or centos onto virtualbox?

If it's not doable I'd like to know so I can look for a different 
solution.  If it is doable I'd appreciate any pointers.

Thanks,
Mike Wright :m)
