I found a way to install the ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386.img file into VirtualBox. Here are the steps.
1. Run the command to create a bootable VDI image (without quotes):
“VBoxManage convertfromraw ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386.img ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386-live.vdi”
2. Run the command to create a new empty VDI image where to install the image with 8GB space:
“VBoxManage createhd -filename ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386.vdi -size 8000″
Note: you can use -register option at the end of this command or register this VDI file from the VirtualBox later.
3. Create a new VM using the ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386-live.vdi (use the existing vdi option)
4. Attach the ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386.vdi as a Primary Slave
5. Start the VM (boot)
6. Install
note: Install will automatically install into the Primary Slave drive.
7. Shutdown the VM
8. Remove the ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386-live.vdi from the VM setting, and make the ubuntu-netbook-remix-i386.vdi as the Primary Master.
9. Restart the VM
10. Enjoy!
Let me know how it goes.
