hello, i'd like to create a virtual machine using vbox in my lenny
laptop but unfortunately i do not hold enough space on the disk;
i wonder if it is possible to create the ".vdi" file for the VM on an
external pendrive though

thank you in advance

- You would shorten the flash memory life span very quickly :-(

Better use a USB external disk.
