I'm sorry, but that's how not it works. *You* tell us which ISO you used, we try to figure out why it doesn't work.

But... here are the ISOs that I've personally used: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/cu ... 4/iso-dvd/

I have several Debian versions installed as guests on my iMac.

If I am doing a clean install then I use Current Debian NetInstall image and then have it download only the packages it needs for whatever I am configuring. If I am being uber lazy, I will use pre-existing .vdi files from OS Boxes.

Sounds like you have other issues. Do any guests work? How about posting a VBox.log file from the problematic guest then we can take a look for issues.
