1. Write Ubuntu PE ISO to USB:

   sudo dd if=./focal-mate-x86_64-xxxxxxxx.iso of=/dev/<usb-dev-file> bs=16K && sync

2. Ubuntu PE Supported Features (Only for Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04 and future versions):

   1. Support Booting USB/CDROM in both MBR & UEFI machines;

   2. Support Installing Ubuntu Image to Hard Drive: sudo ubi-lite

   3. Support Installing Windows Image to MBR Hard Drive: sudo wiminstall.mbrboot /dev/<os-part-name> <WIM file> <image-id>

       [Method-1: Will Erase Grub in Hard drive (cautious!)]
       ex-1: sudo wiminstall.mbrboot /dev/sda1 ./xp-sp3.wim
       ex-2: sudo wiminstall.mbrboot /dev/sda1 ./windows-7.wim 4
       ex-3: sudo wiminstall.mbrboot /dev/sda1 ./windows-11.wim 1

       [Method-2: Not Erase Grub in Hard drive, but need three-step manual configuration on boot settings]
       step-1: Ensure Ubuntu + Grub has been installed on hard driver partitions other than /dev/sda1
       step-2: sudo wiminstall /dev/sda1 ./xp-sp3.wim
       step-3: Reboot, login Ubuntu and run: sudo update-grub
       
       [Method-3: For UEFI Installation to GPT Hard Drive]
       sudo EFI=/dev/<efi-part-name> wiminstall.gptboot /dev/<os-part-name> <WIM file> <image-id>
