to make the vdi smaller, check this out:

http://maketecheasier.com/shrink-your-virtualbox-vm/2009/04/06

In short:
1) uninstall/clear all you can
2) run zerofree
3) Use VboxManage to make a smaller vdi

After this, vdi should still be further compressible with gzip etc for
another 2:1 savings.

Hope this is useful -- Andy
