• Before we begin we need to ensure VirtualBox is installed on the bot you are working on
• This assumes it is installed
• This was tested using Oracle Virtualbox 6.1 on Windows 10

Actions

1. Click on new
2. Use Guided or Expert Mode
   • Here I chose expert
3. Choose a name, and type and version
   • Name: such as OracleLinuxPlayMachine
     • Notice the type and version may auto update as you type this
4. Click create
5. Choose a hard drive on the next box
   • either existing or new

Setting up

• Once you have your VM, you will most likely need an operating system iso to boot into.
• Once you have the iso, align this onto the virtual CD Drive device on the virtual machine.
  • as follows:

1. Right click on VM, and choose settings from right click menu
2. Under system, unclick Floppy disk, because lets be honest no one ever usese these anymore, and they Oracle VirtualBox primary boot option by default.
3. As the Hard drive is what you will want to boot into eventually and on an initial install it is mostly blank, tick this and put this first
4. Then click Optical and make that the second choice
