This way works well if you have a public configuration. However if you don't it's own challenge to clone the repository. So I think we should maybe describe both method.

But the previous version didn't explain how to clone a repo. What do you mean?

Let's say your have a private configuration with private flake inputs it's more likely you have the necessary credentials available on an already set up machine vs. an installer image.

OK, so you mean that these instructions were meant to be executed from a different PC within the same network, that is targeting the new PC that was booted with the live image, right?
That wasn't obvious to me when reading the docs. Let me fix now.
- Remind user to connect to WiFi. - Add local install section. - Remind to add experimental features to CLI. - Name the remote install section. - Add `--build-on remote`, and explain it, or most likely the live system will run out of disk space (which is actually RAM at that moment). @moduon MT-9339
