The installation starts. When the installation is completed, the machine is restarted by clicking the Reboot button.

Finally, root and password are entered to connect to the virtual machine. Thanks to the ifconfig command, the ip address of the machine is visible. If there is a problem with your IP address, close the virtual machine completely and click on the network from the separate parts of the machine, then Bridged adapter is clicked instead of NAD as below and the virtual machine is turned on again.

If you want, you can connect to the virtual machine with mobaXterm, click sessions with mobaXterm, select ssh, enter your own IP address, and then connect to your virtual machine with your root and password.
