Upon another reading of the above, no! That doesn't mean what I thought
it means. (It means what it says, I just took time to understand. There
is no xml involved with any normal boot, not usually, sucha s with
grub. That is still using VM, not leaving it behind...)

But is there a way to get that functionality (that I thought getting)
with your scripts, Andrew? To install with VM, but to leave VM behind,
and boot, such as after configuring a dual boot with grub, [and boot]
normally?
(I'm relatively new to virtual machines.)

Regards!
