Wow! Didn't know it'd be that simple.

Does the live iso created by this process include the dependencies or kernel modules upon live boot? E.g. could I use this to create an ISO image that includes, or pre bakes, any custom or necessary drivers for Nvidia GPUs or finicky Wi-Fi cards when used/booted as just a live USB? That could really help when you'd otherwise have a chicken and egg problem after a hard drive failure and no live USB to safe boot with working networking or display output.

Yeah, if you configure it to do so!
