Description
Many users just need the virtual CD/DVD media only one time (i.e. for = installing the guest) - therefore adding/removing cd-media to the virtual = media manager/ the guest instance creates some overhead work for the user. = Just add a new option to the cdrom management property named "Ask if = hard-disks are empty" (This option should be the dfault). The behavior of = this function can be like that: If the vbox guest does not find a bootable = media a popup window is opened which asks which media should be booted. In = this popup you can select one of the cd/dvd media of the hostsystem to boot = or open a file selector to select a iso-image. Iso images selected in this = dialogue are not added to the virtual media manager.
