Hi Nikola,

Sorry for the delayed answer. You are completely right, there is some
code lacking to actually add the ISO as a CD to the image (we think
this is the easiest way to go). If you take a look at lines 226-233 of
src/vmm_mad/vmware/DeployVM.java, you can see some commented lines
were the code to perform the CD adding should be. I've opened a ticket
[1] for you to track this issue, I will code it and try it out as soon
as I have some spare time.

Best regards,

-Tino
