So I am reading the docs:

 

Lost already, I can't give a name and description. All I get, aside a "start vm after creation" checkbox, is a quasi empty XML:

 

Web searches are all concered with VM icons as opposed to actual VM configurations...

 

I want to install Mint btw.

Select Ubuntu or Debian template since that's what Mint is based on.

Custom means "I'm writing the whole XML myself".

Okay, so let's try the Ubuntu template. Issue is I don't see a way to specify a particular iso. And you don't explain the inconsistency between reality and the docs. I am supposed to encounter GUI after selecting the Custom template not an XML text edit.

Custom template is just for a Custom XML.

 

Using one of the other templates is mainly for the Icons. Which you can change. Select OS Install ISO and select your ISO file. Screen may look a little different as this is 7Beta.

Yeah I see the iso selection field, I do see it with Ubuntu too now
Alright, thanks. That doc page is still as wrong as it can be though.

Can you provide a link to the doc?

Looks like it's the "current" official doc... Yep that first point makes no sense
