I think we need objective, origin and the why explanation of different parts in this guide.

Keith, Thank you for a great and very helpful video. Can you install Virtualbox package as well using your method "ExecStart=...."? I have a few legacy applications that need to run on VM and wonder if this can be done and co-exist with container platform.

How can we create Bootable USB which have all inclusive (boot iso, raw image and ignition file) to install FCOS on real Bare Metal? Also this USB should do un-attended installation no need to manually run script after booting from LiveCD. So same USB can be used to install multiple disconnected installation on BareMetals.

Why is core so ridiculous to install. Why can't it be installed like every other ISO ?

as a linux noob i think many of us linux noobs would be confused when pros say "successfully installed" when i think of an OS fully installed i expect it boots into a GUI/desktop environment where one could run apps with mouse/keyboard haha
