What is DVD2 used for then?
Also can I put CentOS in a bootable usb? I see that there is a wiki for this but it doesn't show how to do it on Mac Mountain Lion...maybe I'm blind and I opologize.
- Luckily, VirtualBox allows you to easily increase the size of your virtual disk. However, that’s not the end of the story. Your disk partitions still have the same size as before. So to complete the disk size increase of your VirtualBox virtual machine, you still need to change the size of the disk partition(s). This latter step is a bit.

How to ssh into CentOS 7/8 VirtualBox VM from MacOS. I have installed a CentOS 7 VM from osboxes.org on Oracle VirtualBox on my Mac. I need to be able to ssh into the VM from the Mac. I have tried to search on the net, but was unable to find information for this set-up - could find some youtube videos, but they talked about Windows.

Centos 7 Download For Virtualbox
[quote]1.Download the desired file
2.Open the Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities/ or query Terminal in Spotlight)
3.Convert the .iso file to .img using the convert option of hdiutil:
hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o /path/to/target.img /path/to/source.iso)
4.Note: OS X tends to put the .dmg ending on the output file automatically.
Rename the file by typing:
mv /path/to/target.img.dmg /path/to/target.img
5.Run diskutil list to get the current list of devices
6.Insert your flash media
7.Run diskutil list again and determine the device node assigned to your flash media (e.g. /dev/disk2)
8.Run diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN (replace N with the disk number from the last command; in the previous example, N would be 2)
9.Execute sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/rdiskN bs=1m (replace /path/to/downloaded.img with the path where the image file is located; for example, ./ubuntu.img or ./ubuntu.dmg).

10.Using /dev/rdisk instead of /dev/disk may be faster.
-If you see the error dd: Invalid number '1m', you are using GNU dd. Use the same command but replace bs=1m with bs=1M.
-If you see the error dd: /dev/diskN: Resource busy, make sure the disk is not in use. Start the Disk Utility.app and unmount (dont eject) the drive.
11.Run diskutil eject /dev/diskN and remove your flash media when the command completes
12.Now the USB stick is ready. Boot the device that you want from the USB stick. [/quote]
