I'm trying to install Centos 6.4 under Virtualbox on a Mac running Lion. I downloaded the 2 iso DVD files and set Virtualbox to boot from DVD 1
When I start the vm it puts out a lot of messages then asks me what kind of install I want to do. I select the basic install and it tells me it found the media ( the iso DVD file I downloaded) puts out a message about the anaconda ( I think) install starting then goes to a screen with the Centos 6 logo and appears to do nothing. No more messages appear.
Should I be using the minimal iso install file?
I have installed Windows XP, 7 and 8 under Virtualbox and they all work. I also installed Ubuntu but didn't like it so I removed it and thought I would try Centos
Does anyone know what might be going on and how to get it working?
Thanks for any advice or help

Did you choose the option to check the media? How much memory did you allocate to CentOS?

Also, this might seem like a stupid thing to check, but I've done it
before. Can you see the full screen, as in the GUI the buttons for clicking through to the next pages are in the bottom right corner and I've had them cut off before, so, might be worth checking in a full screen mode.
