Hi,

Many thank to your help!
The whole picture is this:
https://github.com/cesarjorgemartinez/automatevmimages

Here (when I have a bit of time), I build Linux image minimal with Windows.
Only by now build centos images, I would like to be able to build other
types of Linux, Ubuntu, etc.

Regards,
Cesar Jorge
