Question from OpenSolaris in VirtualBox newbie...

Acer Ferrari laptop with dualboot setup with Windows XP and OpenSolaris. 
I only have 1.47 GB left that's not already allocated for Windows XP and 
the OpenSolaris partition.

I have successfully installed VirtualBox in my Windows partition and I 
can use the OpenSolaris 2008.05 Live CD in the Virtualbox in Windows. 
The box has 1688 MB base memory.

But, when I try to install from the Live CD, it says I don't have room. 
I only have 1 GB available. I need 3 GB minimum.

Where is it that I need to add space from in order to make 3 GB, in the 
virtualbox in Windows? Do I just need to create a virtualbox with 3 GB 
assigned to it? Will virtualbox use 3 GB from the Windows allocated 
space? Or, is this really "virtual" or not physical space?


Or, is the problem that I only have 1.46 GB on the laptop that's not 
allocated to Windows partition or the Solaris partition?
