Also, using this method is not very fool proof and stable. The iso has bugs installing on many systems, which I could not understand, so extensive testing on multiple systems is required so that we can create a stable iso. I will request Michael and others interested to please collaborate on a single base so that we can achieve a fully tested and stable iso with full multi arch support. We can name it anything, let's say MichealOS :)
