Hi guys, I need help, I have a problem with openSUSE 11.4. I went onto this website to download it and I used the Live KDE option, the download method is Direct Link and the type of computer option I put in is 32-bit PC and I’m trying to use it on VirtualBox (I’m leery of using the other download methods and I don’t really want to install it natively because if I put it on my regular computer and I want to delete it, it could screw up my regular Windows 7 part of my computer probably, so I just want to install it in VirtualBox. I hope to hear from you guys ASAP because I really want to use this because I used openSUSE 11.3 in school and I want to use it some more at home. Thanks everyone! 
In my opinion more stable is DVD than Live CD. Try to install it in a old pc or if you have a second HDD install it there and set grub for Dual booting.
stamostolias, thanks so much for the very quick reply. The only other computer I have in my house is my parents and they don’t want me to put Linux on it, I guess, for now. Is there any other thing I can do? I hope I’m not rattling your brain trying to figure it out what to do. Thank you!
Second HDD?
Oh, I’m sorry, I must of forgot to read the rest of your post. This computer that I have here is a laptop, specifically a Toshiba Satellite L655-s5096, so does it have a second HDD? Also, does HDD mean Hard Disk Drive? I just want to be sure. Thanks.
Yeahhh it means Hard Drive Disc. You have only Windows there try to change philosophy and install openSUSE.
Thank you for confirming that HDD means Hard Drive Disc or Hard Disk Drive (I looked it up on answers to be sure) Thanks for looking up my laptop. I appreciate that, I was going to tell you it had Windows on it. What do you mean by this?
try to change philosophy and install openSUSE.
Thank you.
I mean make format and erase windows.
Oh ok, thanks for telling me, I can’t really do that, I have A LOT of stuff on Windows that I can’t erase and I would just like to try to install openSUSE on VirtualBox. Again, I’m very sorry that I can’t erase Windows… 
There is a manual for virtual box
Oracle VM VirtualBox®
Just mount the .iso in the VM
Give it 1GB RAM
Away you go
Thank you caf4926, but how do I:
mount the .iso in the VM
I gave the “Base Memory” 1024MB = 1GB
So that should be good with the memory, thank you.
But how do I:
mount the .iso in the VM
In the settings for the cd/dvd
There is an option to use a mounted .iso
This is an old image from a older vbox version
ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting
But it may help
Thank you very much caf4926, but the newest version of VirtualBox doesn’t have that option. I feel like I’m rattling your heads. Sorry if I am…

there is absolutely no difference in the stability of a CD install, a
DVD install or a network install…
plus, he said he wants to use it in VBox and therefore he does not
even have to burn a disk…just feed the iso to VBox…

P.S., under the newest version of VirtualBox, they have a “General” part, then a “Advanced” tab and it has a “Snapshots” folder and my location it is at is this:
C:\Users\User\VirtualBox VMs\openSUSE Linux\Logs
Then when I try to change it, the furthest it will let me go to is like the above location said, to Logs. What should I do? I appreciate all the help you all are doing.
Ok, thanks caf4926, what do you want me to do in the File menu? I went to “File- Virtual Media Manager” and the only options there under the “Hard Disks” tab are to release or refresh it. Under the “CD/DVD Images” the name there is “VBoxGuestAdditions.iso” and the only options there are also to release or refresh it. What should I do now? Thanks.
Navigate to the location of the openSUSE .iso in your file system
The only files I have in this location (C:\Users\User\VirtualBox VMs\openSUSE Linux) are: (P.S., the name of the file comes first, then the type)
openSUSE Linux-> VirtualBox Machine Definition (.vbox)
openSUSE Linux.vbox-prev-> VBOX-PREV File (.vbox-prev)
openSUSE Linux.vdi-> VDI File (.vdi)
Thanks and I hope this helps.
