Installing an operating system

Once your .ISO file is in place, head back to VirtualBox. With the VM you just created highlighted in the left panel, click the green Start button at the top of the app. You'll be prompted to select a .ISO file from your file system to use as a virtual DVD drive. Naturally, you'll choose the one you just downloaded. The new VM will read this DVD and launch an OS installation.

Most of the time the installation process will go fine. However, describing solutions to each of the many small things that could go wrong would require a couple of full chapters. So if you do have trouble you can consult the documentation and guides that are available for your operating system or share your question with the online community.

When everything is nicely installed, there might still be a few more things to take care of before you can successfully boot into your VM. With your VM's entry highlighted, click the yellow Settings icon. Here's where you can play with your VM's environment and hardware settings.

Clicking on Network, for example, allows you to define network connectivity. If you want your VM to have full internet access through the host machine's network interface then, as shown in figure 5.4, you can select "Bridged Adapter" from the Attached drop-down, and then the name of your host's adapter.
