Fusion - create linux vm using multiple DVD iso's - Howto?

Hi folks,

I need to create a linux based vm (debian etchy + jessie) that uses multiple DVD iso's.

It seems I can not change to the next iso when the installer asks for it?

I tried to add 2 additional cd drives and added the 2 other DVD iso's but this does not work.

How can you do this?

I'm using Fusion version 8.5.8 (5824040)

Thanks for helping out!

When the first ISO is finished, and the installer asks for the next disc, you must return focus to the host, disconnect the virtual CD-ROM, edit it to point to the second ISO image file, reconnect, then click back into the guest window to return focus to the guest.  Then you can click the OK/Next/whatnot button.   The above steps forces the VM to recognize the media has changed.
