Now we need to install an OS inside this VM. This can be done by attaching an installation ISO to and starting the VM (this can currently only be done from command line, but in the future we will surely add an option to do this also from the manager):
~~~
qvm-start win7 --cdrom=/usr/local/iso/win7_en.iso
or
qvm-start win7 --cdrom=TempIsoVM:/home/user/win7.iso
or
qvm-start win7 --cdrom=dom0:/usr/local/iso/win7_en.iso

The above first command assumes the installation ISO was transferred to Dom0 (copied using `dd` command from an installation CDROM for example). The second is for when the iso is in another VM. If one wishes to use the actual physical media without copying it first to a file, then one can just pass `/dev/cdrom` as an argument to `--cdrom`:
