I would prefer a single cd image just like ubuntu. Now, I'm tring to install a pcbsd with a bootonly image, on my virtualbox. I had failed to install once. It seems that the space of virutal disk is too small (10GB). Now, I creat a new virtual machine with 30GB harddisk. I hope it would be OK this time. I would install it on my laptop later if everything were OK.
