Actually, I just mounted the iso as a cdrom.  It was the procedure I
wasn't sure I remembered. But I did.  :-)

Of course, this brought up another interesting difference from my
beloved VAX.  When I was having the original problem I reduced the
disk size thinking that could be the APXBox problem.  The example
I was following used a 5GB disk. I reduced it to 1GB.  After all,
my VAX could run just fine with 500MB, right?  Afer installing VMS
I went to install the C Compiler. "Insufficient Disk Space"!!  Wow.

Oh well.  Back to the beginning and install it all again using the
bigger disk.  Sigh....
