<title>Unattended Guest Installation</title>
<body>
<p>
Oracle VM VirtualBox can install a guest OS automatically. You only need
to provide the installation medium and a few other parameters,
such as the name of the default user.
</p>
<p>
You can perform an unattended guest installation in the following
ways:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Use the Create Virtual Machine
wizard.</b> An optional step in the wizard enables you
to configure unattended installation. You can specify the
default user credentials for the guest OS and also whether to
install the Guest Additions automatically. See
<xref href="create-vm-wizard.dita#create-vm-wizard"/>.
</p>
<p>
During this step, Oracle VM VirtualBox scans the installation medium
and changes certain parameters to ensure a seamless
installation as a guest running on Oracle VM VirtualBox.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Use the <userinput>VBoxManage</userinput>
commands.</b><xref href="unattended-guest-install-example.dita#unattended-guest-install-example"/> describes
how to perform an unattended guest installation for an Oracle
Linux guest.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
When you first start a VM that has been configured for unattended
installation, the guest OS installation is performed
automatically.
</p>
<p>
The installation operation changes the boot device order to boot
the virtual hard disk first and then the virtual DVD drive. If the
virtual hard disk is empty prior to the automatic installation,
the VM boots from the virtual DVD drive and begins the
installation.
</p>
<p>
If the virtual hard disk contains a bootable OS, the installation
operation exits. In this case, change the boot device order
manually by pressing F12 during the BIOS splash screen.
