Sure, they'll just need to copy the bits from DVD (the VM will be too big to fit on a single CD) to their local HDD. You'll need to ensure each student has X GiB of free space. You'll want a pre-req of having the students install VirtualBox before your arrival as well. > and they can all import that VM image and get to work. Logically, you do the import but in practice, you copy the VM and use `vboxmanage' to generate a new UUID - google away and you'll get the magic juju beans on how to do this. > again, i can just hand them hard media with the image on it. it's > the creation i'm concerned about. I'm unclear about your concern though. You may wish to expand on it.
