7 Ok, so I've never used winusb, so excuse me for asking a few dumb questions
8 here. Even after reading a bit and searching around, I have these dumb
9 questions. I did not find sufficient reading materials to 'turn the light on'
10 as to when and why and how this winusb is used.
11
12 1. So winusb can put a window (vista-->8) image on a usbstick that will
13 boot most x86 orx86-64 hardware with the appropriate windows binary?
14 The hardware can then be installed with the windows image?
15
16 2. winusb can be used as a live_windows on a linux system where changes
17 are retain on the usb stick?
18
19 3. winusb can be used to install windows in a VM?
20
21 4. winusb can be used to install windows in a container?
22
23
24 Any links to reading materials or explanations as to these ideas
25 are most welcome.
