So, lessee here...
you want to install some Linux into a VM on VirtualBox?? without having
to "waste" a blank CD/DVD?
easy to do...
in VB, once you've created the VM but before you do the install, select
the VM into which you wish to install, click "Settings", click "Storage",
under the "Storage tree" select whatever is shown as the contents of the
"ide" controller (in my case it's "empty"), then under "Attributes",
click the little CD icon and browse to the ISO you want to install by
clicking "choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file". Then click the OK button,
and fire up your VM and do the installation. Bob's your uncle! :)
