An .iso is an image of a CD. So practically, you have downloaded 3 CDs. If you really want to make 1 CD from 3, you have to open, and copy contents of the "CDs" and pack to a new .iso. Usually there are more than one .iso-file because the contents is too big for one CD.
Follow the reply below, if you are not doing something very special. You can add feauteres later - even from the extra .iso's just by mounting them as disks.

If you have Internet access most Linux distributions have some form of network installer where those packages can be installed by downloading them once you have done a basic operating system installation. Note, this isn't particularly relevant or specific to Virtualbox and might be better asked on a Debian mailing list, where you're likely to get a more informed, and accurate answer to your questions. Hope that helps. -- Regards, Giles Coochey, CCNP, CCNA, CCNAS NetSecSpec Ltd +44 (0) 7983 877438 http://www.coochey.net http://www.netsecspec.co.uk gi...@coochey.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AlienVault Unified Security Management (USM) platform delivers complete security visibility with the essential security capabilities.
