Hi Mark,

I'm not sure I follow you but perhaps my cloning need was different than 
other folks but I don't think it was ...

As an experiment, I did the following:

o Shutdown the W7 VM, ensuring there were no snapshots.
o Using `cp' (far faster than using the Virtualbox method as I could 
copy to a second disk), I copied the .vdi
o I set the .vdi's UUID
o Using the VBox GUI, I created a new VM and plugged in the freshly 
minted .VDI.
o Booted the new .VDI and changed its host name.

I can't recall if I did anything more but the above covers the gist of 
what I did.  It's been a looooong time ago since I've done the above 
though ...

Cheers,
