Yep, "capture the host machines pointer" just means it will use your mouse to control the pointer on the Mint install. Press "alt+I" to release it again.
Because you are in a virtual machine there is no danger of doing any damage to your main OS as the whole Virtual machine exist as just 1 file on your hard disk

Dave, all I can say is I loaded Mint into a separate partition and it's working flawlessly. (apart from the sound)
The computer sure prefers it to, I'll make some notes and explain that bit tomorrow.

I recently made a statement about Mint working well here...
:doh:
Spoke too soon. It works well from the CD in "Compatibility Mode".
Trying to run it from the HD is a bust. It tries to boot and hangs.
As far as I can tell, it doesn't like the built-in mouse on my Toshiba Satellite A30 laptop.
Can't seem to find any helpful information by hunting through the web site and related links. :bang:
