Cheers Mac, no worries, glad that you got it running.  need to track
down who looks after the VB repos and see why the kernel modules have
not been updated to the new kernel version in Gutsy :-)

Quick word of advice, when you have your virtual windows installed,
install the guest additions (found in Devices ->Install Guest
Additions) as this will give you improved video driver functionality
(the windows display resolution will adjust to your window size) and
the ability to run "seamless mode".
