Q4OS is a Debian based distribution with a lightweight WM and small footprint. For large topologies, resources can be precious. Q4OS can easily run with 1G file, 1CPU, 512M RAM. I can get this image built in standalone QEMU/Virt-Manager in qcow2 format all day long. When I copy this over into EVE-NG and start it, I cannot get to it via VNC. If I start a fresh install from the ISO in EVE-NG, I get the Q4OS boot screen in VNC, then it goes blank.

I do show the process running for the image, so it is not like it starts and dies.

Would love to see this as an alternative to Slax, especially when you need persistence across reboots.

Figured out my problem ...had to set the QEMU Options for the vga setting to 'std' vs the default 'virtio'

-machine type=pc,accel=kvm -vga virtio -usbdevice tablet -boot order=cd
-to-
-machine type=pc,accel=kvm -vga std -usbdevice tablet -boot order=cd
