Are there any steamOS official iso files?

[Xitreon]

I want to test steamOS file in a virtual Machine to try out the operating systetm, however after skim reading the thread on this forum it said something about having to install it from a bootable flash drive which is not something I can do with VmWare

Thank you :)

Hmm, opened the zip folder, it looks like it needs to be put into a bootable flash drive like I described in the original post. What I'm looking for is a .iso file in other words a disk image file to emulate a disk i would put into my cd drive.

Does anyone know if such a file exists?

mmm. I though you could get the .ISO there my bad.

Here is a SteamOS .ISO but I think it is a old BETA version: http://repo.steampowered.com/download/SteamOSDVD.iso

Latest version is 2.117. Go to Steam Universe >>> SteamOS forum.
There is a direct ISO link

Got a direct link to the post it's in? Can't seem to find it for some reason

The download link I posted is for the ISO is a new version they link the same download on the latest SteamOS patch notes.

Keep getting system errors when trying to boot SteamOS

The error reads as follows

<h1>Oh no! Something has gone wrong.</h1>
A problem has occured and the system can't recover.
Please log out and try again

So I have already tried this but the message still comes up, and steamOS doesn't even provide any details as to what exactly the problem is. I also tried reinstalling but this message still appears

Have anyone else had this problem? if so, how do I fix it?

You should open new thread straight under SteamOS section. Perhaps more (better) guidance than here.
Green has better driver support than red under Linux.
