The problem may be different Linux OS's may require different methods to install a VM Machine. BUT the way it goes is, you install What ever VM programs you want (like any other program) The when opening the program install the OS inside that either from a ISO or DVD/CD |

| 1454077 | 2018-10-08 04:03:00 | Dumb question time ........ What if you tried to put a VM in your 'puter and it wasn't physically capable of running it. Would you do any damage and/or just totally wipe out whatever host you have running (successfully, I am saying - a working version of Mint, f'rinstance.)? Just asking - haven't done anything foolish this week (yet). |

Just asking - haven't done anything foolish this week (yet) . 1st you would have to have VM program installed . If the Computer cant run one then nought would happen . A VM Program is just that a program that works with the Host OS and hardware, enabling another OS to run in a virtual environment - if one isn't up to speck nothing will work . Bit like saying the cars got all its wheels missing as someone put them in the back seat - it aint going anywhere ;) |

| 1454079 | 2018-10-08 08:40:00 | The VM should warn you that it won't work . In this case, all it's done is installed itself and wasted your time . You may as well uninstall it . It should not affect your host . If it works, it will create a virtual disk (a pretend hard drive made from free space) . If you no longer want it, you just delete it like it were a file and the vm manager will be none the wiser other than to tell you it cant find it at its location anymore . |
