There are freedom issues with VirtualBox:

Try this from command line instead (assuming you have KVM and Qemu installed; if not, sudo apt-get install KVM Qemu first):

This creates a flexible disk image:

qemu-img create -f qcow2 trisquel.img 100g

In the directory where you made your image put your iso and:

sudo kvm -m 1024 -cdrom trisquel_7.0_amd64.iso -boot d trisquel.img

To start the image after install do:

sudo kvm -m 1024 trisquel.img

-m is the amount of memory you want to allocate. 512 is probably enough.

Do "-soundhw all" before the path to the image if you want sound

just type "sudo kvm -m 1024 -cdrom trisquel_7.0_amd64.iso -boot d" to boot a live CD

You could also try gnome-boxes, but the terminal is much, much easier.
