Note that `disk=size=12` will create a 12 GB sparse file. Sparse means the file

You should see the guest window after a few seconds. Log in as `root` once the login

languages supported by PBot.
For the C programming language you will need at least these:
guest$ dnf install libubsan libasan gdb gcc clang
#### Install Perl
Now we need to install Perl on the guest. This allows us to run the PBot VM Guest
