In the past, the vm used the Easy Install method to Install guest OS. What mechanism is this Easy Install?

The Easy install Mode means that you do not have to participate in the installation of the virtual machine after setting the new Virtual Machine wizard. The entire process is automatically completed by the software. As long as you enter the user name and system password in the Wizard, VMware will automatically perform operations such as partitioning and formatting, registering the system, setting the user name and password, automatic logon, and installing VMware Tools during the installation process, without manual intervention. This saves time, but fails to achieve the goal of learning partitions. Therefore, we need to go to non-Easy Install to Install. How to enter the non-Easy Install mode? when creating a vm, select the installation option for installing the system later,

Then enter the CD/DVD option in the newly created vm device, add the iso file, and then start the vm to install the manual partition.
