-
Download UNetbootin to flash the ISO image to a thumb drive. Or you can burn the ISO image to a CDROM.

A couple Android-x86 4.0 (ICS) tips:
- *When using it in VirtualBox, make sure you select \”Disable Mouse Integration\”
- *Disable screen autorotate from the Android-x86 settings, or else some application might rotate it for you (and that\’s quite annoying if your device doesn\’t support it)
