Hi,

1. Will this system stay within its directory tree, or will things go
outside it? In other words, should I do it in a separate OS (in a
multi-boot computer, or can it be done in a general purpose OS?

2. Is there any manual intervention when running the scripts? Or should
I prepare everything before starting it, and it runs until finish as a
batch job?

Best regards
Nio
