I'm afraid I don't follow .... I don't think the netinstall iso cares at 
all, I wasn't sure whether virtualbox was ready to do that .... In any 
event, I got to the point of trying to setup the actual VM & the install 
program asked for the name of an ISO to install .... I already burned a 
CD & mounted it, what do I tell the installer to look at ? I tried 
various files in the top directory & the installer crashed the OS 
(!!!!!) .... Any advice ?
