Under a VMs storage settings is an option for the optical drive. You use a file browser to select the .iso and you run the VM. I can't see how there is a simpler solution. If I'm honest running the gauntlet of host optical drive pass-through and the enormous speed defecit, I can't see how its not just easier to mount the .iso than to mount the host drive. > Vbox seems quite good at "booting" from that CD, and then just build a > new VM, almost without intervention. Other than having to configure the VM. The installation "should" be as smooth sailing as on a physical machine. -- Using Opera M2: http://www.opera.com/mail/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community
