Did you switched "guiagent_installed" and/or "qrexec_installed" properties? Both should be set to "false", unless you really installed those components inside. > Questions: > > a) how can I get a terminal window to install additional applications Without qubes packages inside, the only option is emulated VGA window - make sure both guiagent_installed and qrexec_installed are set to false. > b) can I install the missing Qubes parts later on to get seamless mode > working and to launch applications from dom0 (qrexec...) Not easily. Theoretically both qrexec and gui agent should just work, but in practice packages shipping them depends on specific system configuration - for example system being installed on /dev/xvda, without partition table. This is improved for Qubes OS 4.0 - packages are split into smaller parts and it is possible to install just parts you want, without the whole system reconfiguring stuff. Also, for Qubes OS 4.0 recently we've got repository with CentOS 7 packages: https://yum.qubes-os.org/r4.0/current-testing/vm/centos7/ I hope there will also pre-built template available soon. But for now, if you're brave enough, you can add the above repository (key for package verification is here: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-builder-centos/blob/master/keys/RPM-GPG-KEY-qubes-4-centos) and install qubes-core-agent-qrexec and qubes-gui-agent.

Yes, qvm-create --standalone --template TEMPLATE_NAME ... - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
