It seems there are some tricks to this, as you can't just install it, and then snapshot and set some flag (particularly using the command-line!). Worse still, trying to detach, mark and re-attach and mark immutable the disk file seems to be impossible also. I'm doing this by remote over a satellite SSH connection so there's no point trying to use GUI instructions alas! Any tips/thoughts/etc?! MJE
