在VirtualBox中安装Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.6

Question

I am having windows 8.1 laptop and installed VirtualBox 4.3.26. I am trying to install OEL 6.6 that I downloaded from Oracle site.

I have 5 iso images

Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 6 source DVD 2--->V52217-01
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 6 for x86_64 (64 Bit)--->V52218-01
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 6 UEK Boot ISO image for x86_64 (64 bit)--->V52220-01
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 6 Boot iso image for x86_64 (64 bit)--->V52219-01
Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 6 source DVD 1--->V52216-01

I have setup the VM and tried to start the VM to install Linux. I selected the "Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 6 Boot iso image for x86_64 (64 bit)--->V52219-01" as IDE Primary Master as this will be the boot disk. It goes to the installation screen, but then it asks for the source files, not sure how to proceed, I tried to change the image to "Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 6 source DVD 1--->V52216-01" but it does not help.

I tried to update/ create new hard drive, but it did not help. I tried using another image that I downloaded from the net(it was a single file) and it worked fine.

Any suggestions. Thanks.

The ISO image you need to map as virtual DVD in the VBox Virtual Machine settings is the 3.7 GB one:

Oracle Linux Release 6 Update 6 for x86_64 (64 Bit) V52218-01.iso
