This can be used as input when creating a VM for the ISO to be installed in. --iso=install-iso The installation ISO to run the detection on. --machine-readable Produce output that is simpler to parse from a script. Reconfigures the specified VM for installation and optionally starts it up. uuid|vmname Either the UUID or the name (case sensitive) of a VM. --iso=install-iso The installation ISO to run the detection on. --user=login The login name. (default: vboxuser) --password=password The login password. This is used for the user given by --user as well as the root/administrator user.

(default: vmname.myguest.virtualbox.org) --package-selection-adjustment=keyword Adjustments to the guest OS packages/components selection. This can be specfied more than once. Currently the only recognized keyword is minimal which triggers a minimal installation for some of the guest OSes. --dry-run Do not create any files or make any changes to the VM configuration. --start-vm=session-type Start the VM using the front end given by session-type. This is the same as the --type option for the startvm command, but we have add none for indicating that the VM should not be started. (default: none) Advanced options: --auxiliary-base-path=path The path prefix to the media related files generated for the installation.

(default: IMachine::OSTypeId dependent) --post-install-template=file The post installation script template. (default: IMachine::OSTypeId dependent) --post-install-command=command A single command to run after the installation is completed.
