Hi, when I try to create a VM from a CentOS 8 ISO image, on the installation summary page, I get the error Error setting up base repository in the Installation Source.

Screenshot 2021-05-02 at 09.27.41.png

I got the image from here
http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/centos/8-stream/isos/x86_64/
I used CentOS-Stream-8-x86_64-20210427-boot.iso

My ISO's are stored on an NFS Share

I can create VM's using CentOS7 and Ubuntu from ISO's on the same NFS share just fine. I have also tried using local storage from the ISO's but I get the same error.

Any ideas?

You are using boot ISO, it does not have any packages. Use the DVD ISO from the same link with size > 9GB
