Tried both i386 and x86_64 Desktop/Workstation/Development installs on 
VirtualBox 3.2.12 hosted on CentOS-5.  No problems encountered except a 
failure to properly recognize the DVD image as valid installation media 
on the first boot attempt for i386.  Worked the second time, and may be 
a VirtualBox issue and not a SL issue.

A suggestion - every DVD install I've tried so far has needed both DVD 1 
and 2.  Have you considered putting less-used packages on the 2nd piece 
of media so most users only need 1?  The CentOS 5 approach of putting 
OOo language packs on the 2nd DVD for x86_64 works pretty well.

Thanks for the good work.  Will report anything encountered during 
actual use.

Phil
