Problem in installing minimal version on VMWare

Hi Community,

Host Operating System: Window 10 Home Edition
Guest Operating System: Rocky Linux 9.1 Minimal version
VMWare: 17 Pro


Scenario

Resources for each VM
Memory - 8GB
Processors - 4

I try to install both DVD ISO(minimal version) and MINIMAL ISO(minimal version) on two VMWare instances. Find out some weird results.


Results

DVD ISO (install minimal version)

Problems

  • Getting stuck on booting page (not able to select)
  • Very slow in booting

MINIMAL ISO (minimal version)

None of the above problems. Everything runs very fast.


My question

I thought both of these are the same, seems like I am wrong.

May I know what is the difference between DVD ISO(minimal version) and MINIMAL ISO(minimal version)?
