System storage max sizeto ISO's extracted size, boot from a LiveCD.Then mount drive that has ISO file (or the ISO directly), create a partition, extract the ISO into the partition.
Expected behavior:
If
copied from qubeis selected, thenTemplate: [<dropdown>]changes intoCopy of: [<dropdown>]which would allow copying any qube, not just templates.If
copied from block device or disk archiveis selected, thenTemplate: [<dropdown>]changes into:If
unformattedis selected, thenTemplate: [<dropdown>]disappears completely.Actual behavior:
See
Steps to reproduce the behavior.General notes:

Also, you can not set template_for_dispvms to True on a standalone (One way of showing that it is not a TemplateBasedVM).
So "[Dom0] Create new qube" should not use the word "based" when referring to a Standalone copying its initial harddrive from a template, otherwise people will think it is a TemplateBasedVM.
