Q. I'm new to virtual machines. Now i'm having Ubuntu installed on my virtual machine. Its setup wizard asked me about either allocating disk partitions for it or else it'll erase the whole hard disk. I'm confused. Didn't Oracle Virtual Machine Box just save me a portion of disk space earlier? I want to do this right. Help me, please.
A. I felt the same way when I first set up Ubuntu. When it it says it will erase the whole disk, it just means what you have dedicate to that machine. All Ubuntu can see if what you have given. Your OS on your actual computer will not be erased!
Just to make sure though, when you install Ubuntu, click on "Something else" and it will show you your hard drive. If for some reason it shows the whole hard drive, go back and create the virtual machine again.
Hope this helps

You download the ISO. image of Linux Mint 7 then you need to create a Bootable LiveCD for installation
Linux Mint 7 can also be run direct from the LiveCD from Booting up without touching your Hard Drive
