  Execution scenarios
  ===================

  Default username: vmt
  Default password: vmt

  =========== boot directly into VMTux using grub, example grub.cfg
  set default=0
  set timeout=0
  hiddenmenu
  menuentry "vmtux" {
  clear
  linux /boot/vmlinuz64-x.y.z loglevel=3
  initrd /boot/vmtux64-a.b.gz
  }

  ====== direct boot via ISO =================================================
  The ISO contains the kernel and initrd filesystem using grub as a bootloader
  Linux: copy the iso file to an USB stick using dd command

  $ sudo dd bs=4M if=/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/sdX status=progress oflag=sync

  For windows, use rufus (https://rufus.ie/downloads/)
  Select USB station ans select ISO file and hit 'Start'


  ======================== using qemu redirecting console ====================
  qemu -nographic -m 512 \
    -kernel vmlinuz64-x.y.z -append 'console=ttyS0' \
    -initrd vmtux64.gz

  ================ using ISO cdrom image using vnc for graphical output ==========
  qemu -vnc :0 -m 512 -boot d \
    -cdrom vmtux64-x.y.z.iso

  ================ vmware compatible vmdk using vnc for graphical output
  qemu -vnc :0 -m 512 \
    -hda boot-vmtux64-x.y.z.vmdk

  === WSL2 Windows Subsystem for Linux (Microsoft) Kernels > 6.10.1 ==========
  Example: Copy kernel and tar.gz file to c:\temp
  Starting Command prompt in Administrator mode:
  > copy vmlinuz64-6.10.1 C:\temp
  > copy vmtux64-2.3.tar.gz C:\temp
  > wsl --import vmtux c:\temp\vmtux c:\temp\vmtux64-2.3.tar.gz
  > wsl -d vmtux -e login
