M42/LNX Installation types:
***************************

ZFS Installation on USB/similar media:
**************************************
Write/flash the M42/LNX .raw Image to a 60G+ media which is boot-able after the process.
The last partition which is "Empty" must resized to the rest of the drive-volume and a new filesystem/zpool created.


ZFS Installation on SATA/SSD/HDD/similar media:
***********************************************
Its possible, to write the .raw Image to a SSD/HDD - SATA/etc drive direct, its a full and completed installation by defined zpool/partitions.
The last partition which is "Empty" must resized to the rest of the drive-volume and a new filesystem/zpool created.
 

Manual ZFS Installation (any media):
************************************
Write/flash the M42/LNX .raw Image to another 60G+ media which is boot-able after the process and boot M42/LNX.
