cannot find BaseSystem.dmg #257

i just tried to download big sur and it has downloaded BaseSystem.dmg but it has not downloaded to the macOS-Simple-KVM-master folder or the base system folder yet when jumpstart.sh was running i saw the free space decrease and thinking it was a glitch i deleted the macOS-Simple-KVM-master folder and emptied the recycle bin and rebooted my laptop and the free space has not gone up, is there a way anyone could help me find where it downloaded to

It seems to not download the BaseSystem.dmg but an 4GiB InstallAssistant.pkg file into ./tools/FetchMacOS/BaseSystem/

That's how far I've made it. Did not manage to get the install package to work from within cataltina (the installer starts but does not let me select a drive to install to).

About the fre space issue: what was the exact command you entered (with path and all that) to get the package?

yeah about that i reset my laptop because it was having some other issues also and now all of those problems are gone but what i did to do the command was open the file manager to macOS-Simple-KVM-master folder and clicked open in terminal then typed ./jumpstart.sh -b .
