Vuppy?
Is there an ISO of the current version of Puppy with Virtual Box already installed?

So basically what you want is the user can only access XP. So, booting into a CLI Puppy, with a script to start VBox would be easy enough, but a script to pre-select and boot a specific virtual machine would ( I think) have to be a change in VBox itself, unless it has a setup for autoloading a specific machine. or if there is a way to do it with a script in Puppy.
In order to execute something Before X starts, we`d have to edit xinit.rc....
While we`re at it, how about a script in Puppy to backup the VBox VDI of XP and update it on shutdown, maybe keeping a log of changes.
Backup with a record in case of any problems.
Everything you ask can be done from script. Use VboxManage. (CLI controls replace the GUI so the VBox can run "headless"). See chapter 8 in the VBox manual... yes, its down to that old "google is your f* friend, RTFM" thing
If you don't have VBox to look up the help it is also here:
http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/Usermanual.html
Essentially, the GUI is an extra, it lies in a subdirectory. One can make one's own, or use script for automation. Cheers!
