 == Start the virtual machine ==
 
+On the left side of the !VirtualBox GUI, you should see your new "Eden Dev Env" virtual machine.
+
+ * Click the virtual machine entry to select it.
+ * Click Start (on the !VirtualBox menu bar).
+ * You may get several popups telling you that the VM is going to "capture" your mouse and keyboard, and the "host key" to press to free them up. Remember which one it is. (This is only needed temporarily -- mouse sharing issues get fixed later.) Click Ok to the popups.
+ * You'll see a box asking you to enter a new "root" password. Click the mouse on the virtual machine window to give it focus. That will get you another popup telling you to let the VM "capture" your mouse. Click Ok. Your mouse pointer will disappear.

A discussion of the differences is [http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html here]. This shows NAT setup:
