A new LiveCD image of moblin-converted-from-raw-200902201804.iso is generated. The tool detects the type of input image: kvm or vmdk image.

For example, you can launch a virtual machine running Moblin v2 and make changes on the virtual system like yum install/remove a package, scp a source tarball to VM, build and try it. Then with a simple “sync” or shutdown of VM, the VM image contains your changes. Using the converter, the VM image can be transformed to a live image and burned to a USB drive. Finally, you can verify changes in the target.
