The process for Linux templates is documented here: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/building-non-fedora-template/ The above is about "proper" template, with scripted build, packaging etc. But if you want to just experiment with things (which I would also recommend before starting the proper packaging), you can follow steps you listed: create empty HVM, install system from ISO and configure it from inside. You will see three disks available: 1. "root" (10GB by default) - this is where you install the system 2. "private (2GB by default) - place for user files, /home etc - normally mounted as /rw in Qubes templates 3. "volatile" (10GB by default) - temporary files, swap etc - content of this one is discarded at each VM shutdown More details here: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/template-implementation/ - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
