With this species I get to the point where the first Win-11 window coughs up a bootability problem, I'm just guessing that it doesn't know where the created image-file is? Neither do I because the dialog never asked me where I want to keep it :-)
It's one of the steps, virt-manager either creates the default size disk image at the default pool, or lets user create it somewhere else. Default pool is at /var/lib/libvirt/images, IIRC.
Yes, found it. When I try to specify the directory where I want the virtual disk image stowed I was expecting vBox-like behavior: like I would set the directory and kvm would set the file-name based on the VM name given it earlier. But there being no file name yet if I just set the directory via this dialog I get an error saying the the filesystem has to be fat. It works if I set not only the directory but also the file-name (with the proper extension) editing it directly into the dialog box.
Where is the config file for the newly-created or to-be-created virtual system? Looking at that might tell me something.
XML tab in Overview, for the whole thing, and at every section, for its snippet of configuration. It's read-only by default in the UI.
Where is the complete editable file? It would have helped to look it over in the above situation. Other than this detail I didn't get any further, no time, the launched VM still coughs up a bootiong problem. Later
