# In the Virtual Machine Manger, click on the icon to ''Create a Virtual Machine'' in the upper-left corner: <br />(refer to '''Virtual Machine Manager''' thumbnail above).
# A window will appear with the title ''New VM''. There are five steps to be completed; click '''Forward ''' after each step:
# '''Step 1 of 5:''' Enter the virtual machine (called '''fedora1''') name and select '''Local install media (ISO image or CDROM)''' (refer to ''Step 1 of 5'' thumbnail above).
# Click the '''Forward''' Button.
# '''Step 2 of 5:''' '''Insert the DVD containing the Fedora Live Disc image. Wait a moment for the disc to be recognized''', You should see a black dialog box appear that recognizes the DVD. Click on the black box to confirm.
# Click the Make certain that you select "'''ForwardUse CDROM or DVD''' Button".
# Under "Location your install media section", select "'''Use CDROM or DVD'''". Set the ''OS type'' to '''Linux''' and the ''Version'' to '''Fedora 19''' (refer to ''Step 2 of 5'' thumbnail above), then click the '''Forward''' Button.
<!-- {{Admon/tip|Using an ISO image|Instead of using a physical CD or DVD, you can use an ISO image of a CD or DVD. The virtualization software will make this ISO image appear like an actual CD within the virtual machine. Because hard disks are faster then optical discs, this will work faster than an actual CD/DVD.}}{{Admon/note|Choosing the operating system type and version|The purpose of the ''OS type'' and ''Version'' fields is to fine-tune some of the virtual machine settings for best performance. The VM will work even if these are set incorrectly.}} -->
