   1. Press "New" button and follow questions, leave defaults where unsure
    * give it a fancy name, it is a Linux machine of type Debian, not oracle (important for the default Logo later)
    * the amount of memory depends on the application you run. Make it 750 MB. 
-   * create a 1.2GB empty disk image (space is not taken until used)
+   * create a 1.5GB empty disk image (space is not taken until used)
   1. Give mass storage a second drive (click on it and then find the green "plus" symbol), which is the Debian installer .iso from above
   1. Start the machine, which will find the .iso as the only bootable decide, which will start the Debian installer, just follow the instructions
-  1. Reboot and start from it
+  1. Reboot and start from it, only install the base system, do the graphics after the reboot since otherwise the disk won't be large enough to cache the packages
+  1. Log in as root
+    1. sudo apt-get install lxde as a reasonably sized reasonably functional desktop
-  1. sudo apt-get install boinc-client boinc-manager
+    1. sudo apt-get install boinc-client boinc-manager
   1. done. Exit VirtualBox.
+ 
+ It is tedious if it does not go through smoothly ... take a readily prepared one.
