I'm a newbie with virtualbox
I tried to install from the site the last version of it, 1.5.2. I've succeeded to create a vm and also a vdi. I've mount ab iso file for the guest OS. Till ther allright.
Where I'm having problem is that I don't know how to run my vm to install the os on boot.
Here's details:

Waiting for the remote session to open...
I'm not using GUI so command is welcome.
Thanks
