You use the lilybuntu.iso file to install the lily-dev ready 
Ubuntu.  In VirtualBox, go to the File>Virtual Media Manager 
settings, click the CD/DVD images tab, and then add the 
lilybuntu.iso file to the list using the "Add" button.  Once it's 
there, close out of that and go through the steps to add a new 
virtual machine.  Choose Linux, then Ubuntu, set up the virtual 
hard disk, allocate memory and so forth. Once the machine's 
identity is set up, you have to go into the machine's settings and 
in the CD/DVD-ROM area choose to "mount CD/DVD drive," then tell 
it which .iso image to mount.  After you've set it to mount the 
lilybuntu.iso file, close it out and then you'll be ready to start 
up the new virtual machine and go through the Ubuntu installation 
process.  After it's done installing, you'll need to go back into 
the settings and uncheck the box that says "mount CD/DVD" drive, 
or else it'll boot back into the install process again.  Once it's 
installed and you can boot into a regular session, you'll want to 
install the Guest Additions so that you can make it go fullscreen 
instead of the 800x600 window it has by default.  That's done in 
the Devices menu of the VB window border around the virtual machine.

HTH,
