Before you can start the image via VirtualBox, please configure the virtual device as below.

VirtualBox OSE Manager

                  ├── Dynamically expanding storage
                  └── Virtual Size --> 8.00 GB

Please note, only live images since 2011-07-20-10-50-meego-plasma-contour-in-progress-USB-live.iso are runnable via VirtualBox.

Please note, if you'd like to install our live image to an VirtualBox hard drive, you have to remove the live image from the virtual CD/DVD-ROM after installation. This will be done after Power off the machine via VirtualBox OSE Manager.

  Settings
  └── System
      └── Motherboard
          └── Boot Order
              ├── CD/DVD-ROM --> disable
              └── Hard Disk

Once MeeGo/Plasma Active is installed, you may want to enable the mouse cursor.
