Latest ThinStation installer ISO lets you end up with an empty root shell #763

I downloaded TS-6.2.13-Installer-0311.iso from https://kumisystems.dl.sourceforge.net/project/thinstation/thinstation/thinstation-6/TS-6.2.13-Installer-0311.iso

First tried Ventoy/Easy2Boot but I ended up in a empty root shell, instead of some installer environment/wizard.

Burnt the ISO on CD, but now I end up with the same:

When I see other issues and google searches on "DevStation" I get something like this: https://github.com/Thinstation/thinstation/issues/248

But here nothing graphical starts.

Specs:

You don’t run DevStation on a thin client. Make a VM or use a computer with at least 4gb of RAM. Build images that will run on a thin client. Watch the video.

So no generic images that you can just write or install onto the thin client directly? Like every modern distribution like Ubuntu for example? Okay I will try it out in a vm then

I never saw the point of making something exactly like someone else. I have incorporated some stuff that requires more memory than regular distros. It ‘can’ make things go faster.

Okay, then I didn't understand the purpose, my bad. Will dive into the image creation, thanks for the directions.
