The image is optimized for KVM and aims to resemble a default server installation as closely as possible. All administrative tools are available reliably from the beginning, all administrative routines and helps (scripts) can be used in the same way. All application services work the same as in the standard installation.
The server documentation link:https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/virtualization/vm-install-diskimg-fedoraserver/[Creating a virtual machine using Fedora Server Edition disk image] provides detailed information on installing and using the disk image.

== Anaconda and related components
Release notes for the Fedora installer, Anaconda, as well as related topics, are now being maintained upstream. See the project's link:https://anaconda-installer--4379.org.readthedocs.build/en/4379/release-notes.html#fedora-37[ReadTheDocs] documentation for a full list of installer-related changes in Fedora 37.

== boot.iso now uses GRUB2 on BIOS systems
In previous Fedora releases, the minimal installer image (`boot.iso`) used the syslinux bootloader when booting on systems using BIOS firmware, while on UEFI systems GRUB2 is used. However, the syslinux project is no longer being developed upstream. Therefore, starting with Fedora 37, `boot.iso` images will use GRUB2 on both BIOS and UEFI-based systems.
