If you don't want the installation medium to be ejected, you can e.g. in virtualbox go in the General→Advanced tab, and untick “Removable Media: Remember Runtime Changes” There’s also cdrom-detect/eject which you can set to “false”. I don't think this is a behaviour we are going to change, so tagging wontfix, at least for now. Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Subject: installation-reports: The installer, when finished, ejects the optical disk. This is unhelpful and annoying, especially if you are installing from an .iso image into a virtual machine, and wish to install packages from the disk after the install (and APT sources.list defaults to an install from a local disk vs. network servers). Ejecting the optical disk is a bad solution to the problem of inexperienced users inadvertantly re-entering the installer after the install is complete; a more helpful solution wuld be something similiar to Microsoft Windows, which, if it detects a hard disk is bootable, prompts the user to strike a key if they wish to boot from the CD-ROM (and if no key is pressed within 5 seconds, automatically defaults to booting the hard disk).
