Slint and VM

Sat Aug 24 13:48:18 UTC 2019

Here's what it gives me.

It auto partitioned to sr0 ROM  4g

sda140g
sda2 100m
sda3 30g

Do I need to do anything with that like recreate the virtual disk and do 
manual partitioning? I ran the auto partition as I didn't want ot risk 
messing up the partitions and the easy way seemed to e auto partitions
