Installing Ubuntu 7.04 server in VirtualBox

As part of the fiddling around with Metasploit, there came the need to install a victim box to test things on (we don't want to be attacking a live site don't we?  Especially one that we don't own...), so here's a modification of the instructions found at Offensive Security's walkthrough for our needs.

I wanted to run the victim machines in VirtualBox instead of VMware Player, and after some experimentation and Googling around with the crashing issue, here're the instructions on how to get things up and running.

Host OS: Ubuntu 9.10
VirtualBox 3.1.2
Guest OS: Ubuntu 7.04 Server
