From BCCD 3.0

Sample VirtualBox Setup

Required:

* two 1 GB+ USB drives
* VirtualBox: (http://www.virtualbox.org/)
* BCCD ISO image: http://cluster.earlham.edu/bccd-ng/bccd_latest.iso

The Virtualbox setup on the Mac must allow for connecting one USB drive that will become the bootable USB drive, and a second USB drive containing a copy of the BCCD ISO image.

1. In upper-right corner of main Virtual box window click the blue "New" to create a new VM (virtual machine)
   1. Click "Next" on bottom of page
2. Name Virtual Machine
   1. Choose name such as LittleFe
   2. Operating System is Linux
   3. Version is Debian (8 from the top)
   4. Click "Next"
3. Configure memory for VM
   1. Click next to accept default
4. Configure hard drive for VM
   1. Click "Next" to accept default
   2. Click "Next" again to proceed to disk configuration wizard
   3. Click "Next" yet again to accept defaults
   4. Click "Next" to accept default name (same as name you chose above)
5. Complete configuring VM
   1. Click "Finish" to, well, wait for it, complete this step, finishing will come just a bit later
   2. Click "Finish" again to really create VM
6. Tell VM where BCCD ISO is located
   1. Create Virtual CD Drive
      1. Click the 4th blue line in the panel on the right marked "Storage"
      2. Click the green "+" on the right by "IDE Controller"
      3. Click the "Empty" line which just appeared
   2. Link CD Drive to BCCD ISO
      1. On the far right Click the folder symbol having a green "^" on it
      2. Click the "Add" symbol with the green "+" in the upper left corner"
      3. Navigate to where directory on your system to bccd_latest.iso
      4. Click "Open" in lower right corner
      5. Click "Select " in lower right corner to complete this phase
7. Create two virtual USB drives
   1. Scroll to bottom of right panel and click on second blue line from the bottom "USB"
      1. On the middle of the left side click the top USB symbol with the blue circle (NOT the green plus this time)
      2. Click it a second time
      3. Click "OK" in lower right corner

You now have a configured virtual machine that will work with the creation of the bootable BCCD USB. When those steps ask for a mounting the BCCD ISO, insert the other USB drive (that of course has a copy of the ISO)
