Just tell it to start headless. Remember you can later on connect to its console using rdesktop if you configured it. o If you want to create the vm from scratch, you can create the vm itself using vboxmanage (a biased example is shown at http://unixwars.blogspot.com/2012/01/creating-virtualbox-vms-command-line.html). Then you could do the initial disk partitioning and installing using, say, kickstart. o Another way to do the previous suggestion is to use packer. or JuJu. Or Vagrant. Of the 3, I myself have more experience with packer. > Cheers, > > Boris. > > > On Fri, Mar 27, 2015 at 3:16 AM, Александр Кириллов <nevis2us at infoline.su> > wrote: > >> I am wondering if there is a set of scripts/utilities for automatically >>> starting and running headless (no X11) VM's using VirtualBox omn a CentOS >>> 6 >>> server.
