- Run VirtualBox and click on new on the top left bar
- Name the OS android and select OS type/version as unknown/other and click on ‘Next’.
- Assign memory. Usually even 64MB is fine but i just allocated 128MB just in case. And then neglect the next few steps and keep on clicking ‘Next’.

I wasn’t aware that Android was even available, nice find. Thanks for the post!
Just one note, I don’t think it’s actually necessary to burn the ISO to CD. I’ve been using VirtualBox for a while and it will allow mounting the ISO directly a via VirtualCD.
