Our 'tricks' can TRASH his whole system if not done *perfectly* ... and he doesn't seem to be extremely experienced with -IX systems. VBox WILL do what he desires - pretty easily and cleanly and at no risk. His old disrto will even gain some perks by "filtering through" the VBox system. Hmmm ... you'd THINK a live distro with all those math/stat extras would have been perpetuated by somebody. "Scientific Linux" might have been it, but that seems to have fallen a bit by the proverbial wayside (as with all the RPM universe after the IBM/RHEL thing).
