I found using physical media a pain and I convert phyiscal media
into iso files, or simply use a downloaded iso file directly
without bothering to burn it to CD. It has the twin advantage of
being both a lot faster and more reliable than read CD/DVDs. Both
VirtualBox and Qemu are happy to mount iso files as CD/DVDs.
