Results: Tests of booting KLV-KDE-CE from its ISO file to its desktop
Note: Booting KLV-KDE-CE from its ISO files eliminates issues of extractions and boot-menu changes which often can result in errors. The ISO file booting is trouble-free retaining all the properties expected in a Frugal use.
The Approach and Intent:
Merely download the ISO file to the launch USB and boot it to desktop to be operational. No intermediate step(s) required.
At boot for all tests, KLV's default boot Menu item taken without menu change.
