VM7 is a Install Any OS VM ([[VM8|and a series of Install Any OS VMs]]) that debuted in December 2021. The VM allows any user to install any OS they want, either through Lily or Dartz's ISO folder or from a website using <code>!httpcd (url)</code>. A list of them can be found at [http://computernewb.com/~dartz/isos http://computernewb.com/~dartz/isos] and [http://computernewb.com/~lily/ISOs http://computernewb.com/~lily/ISOs].▼
▲VM7 is a VM that debuted in December 2021. The VM allows any user to install any OS they want, either through Lily or Dartz's ISO folder or from a website using <code>!httpcd (url)</code>. A list of them can be found at [http://computernewb.com/~dartz/isos http://computernewb.com/~dartz/isos] and [http://computernewb.com/~lily/ISOs http://computernewb.com/~lily/ISOs].
There is also an alternate version of VM7 for older operating systems you can use, called VM8. [[VM8|You can view the article for it here.]]
Users interact with the VM through a bot named [[AnyOSInstallBot]]. Another way users can interact with the VM is the default [[iPXE]] which is named "CollabVM iPXE", a custom version of iPXE. This iPXE version behaves similar to vanilla iPXE, VM8 does not have this however.

== Tips for both VM7 and VM8==▼
▲== Tips for both VM7 and VM8 ==
* People enjoy installing operating systems that are already their own VMs. Instead of doing that, try installing some really obscure OS or a bootleg from Crustywindows.
* If you don't want to wait so long for <code>!reboot</code>, you can alternatively open the webapp OSK and soft reboot the virtual machine by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete.
* When booting, go to iPXE command line and type in <code>exit</code>, this way you don't have to wait for iPXE to tell you that there is no network devices then let you boot to CD or floppy faster.
* The best bootset order is <code>nad</code>. Why? Not because that's
* Actually, the best bootset order depends on how you are going to install something on VM7. You can do <code>dc</code> if you're going to insert a CD to install an OS, and then eject it later and boot to the OS faster.

* Mac OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" - Niresh's 10.8.2 works on it, however not absolute mouse input and no ethernet unless you install a kext. Use command <code>!httpcd https://egg.l5.ca/files/iso/10.8.iso</code>
== OSes that work but have issues ==
*Windows XP - You need to load a driver before the installer, or else the setup won't detect any disks:
:Run <code>!flp Driver/ich9-flp.img</code>
:As soon as the text setup loads, press F6
:Press S to show a list of drivers, and select "'''Intel(R) ICH9R/DO/DH SATA AHCI Controller'''"
:Hit enter. The install should proceed as normal.
* FreeBSD - 64-bit panics due to something with APIC and 32-bit gets stuck on "Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec"
