Can I create a new virtual machine and use a snapshot instead of installing it in VirtualBox?

Question

Last time when I created a virtual machine in VirtualBox I took a snapshot after the installation of the operating system had finished. Now I want to create a new virtual machine with the same operating system and configuration. Is there some way I can use the snapshot in this new machine, so I don't have to install the operating system again? That would be handy.

Answer 1

Not using a snapshot - it doesn't contain all the information by itself.

What you should use instead is VirtualBox's Import/Export wizard with your existing machine.
