Core installation on Vbox VM

[girlaldo]

Hi all,
I am new in lmce and I have a problem with the installation:
I wanted to install in a Vbox VM a core only lmce.
So I loaded into the virtual DVD reader the iso file:
    LMCE-1404-20161119175532-i386.iso
I was surprised when I finaly discovered that I had to fill in my video and audio preferences and than the MD setting started.
What was wrong with it?
Which iso file should I take?
How can I install lmce core from internet on a Kubuntu 14.04 running?  It seems to me that network installation script just get the hybrid version.
Can a hybrid version be managed so that local MD doesn't run? how?
Sorry for bothering with those stupid questions, as I wrote I am new.
Any way thank you for your answers.

All installs are hybrid from the get go. To disable the MD part for the core, edit /etc/pluto.conf and set

AutostartMedia = 0

Thank you for your help.
Now the console hangs on the message:

InstallNewDevice is running

how can I get the terminal prompt?
Please tell me too where informations you gave me are.
Thanks again

InstallNewDevice can take a while.  Ctrl-alt-f1 should get a log-in prompt.

What phenigma said. Rule #1 is very important here.

Thank you Posde and Phenigma,
In fact my lmce core runs as a vbox vm hosted by an ubuntu 16.04 server and I had to make a few test to discover that, in my krdc rdp, Ctrl ALT F1 was instead ALT F5.
Anyway I discovered something new to ask for your help with:
Before inhibiting MD I had already set in the core a working autoreverse ssh on my user started by a script invoked by /etc/rc.local at boot.
Since I inhibited the MD, it seems that the autoreverse ssh doesn't run/work  anymore.
Would you tell me why? How can I have it working again immediately at boot?
Thank you again

Nothing in LinuxMCE is preventing rc.local to run. In fact, my core uses rc.local to manually load some drivers which works best that way (I want a specific numbering of the DVB cards, and am too lazy to use udev rules for it).

Thank you posde,
 l'll tell you if I found out what was wrong with It.

There was no way to get autossh running at boot of my lmce 14.04 by rc.local.
May be it was a question of runlevel and readiness of network interfaces at rc.local execution time.
I managed to have everything working using upstart explained here:
