OI on VB; quick note-to-self

 To get proper graphics, the following need to be done: 

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage.exe setextradata OI-2021 CustomVideoMode1 1920x1080x16


C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>VBoxManage modifyvm OI-2021 --graphicscontroller vboxvga

The resolution may/may not need to be adjusted in MATE (preferences -> system -> displays).

The text installer (an option from the mate boot disk) allows you to specify an IP and default router, instead of having it handled by Network Manager.
