No prompt to select .ISO file on creation or in settings?

Post by KenBone »

I'm trying to use a KDE Neon for my virtual machine, but I am not seeing a prompt to select the .iso file I have saved anywhere. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong and/or missing? I'm still new so please be patient. :D :mrgreen: :P

The prompt for an ISO is a hint for beginners. If you went in and edited the VM settings before launching the VM then it's assumed you don't need prompting.

An ISO is one way to create a new VM, but it isn't the only way. DOS used floppies, or you may be planning to deploy a hard disk image.
