Skip steps to create a temporary working directory and a hardened configuration, as they are already part of the image.
+If you want to test your build before copying it into a USB stick, you can try it out on your machine using a tool like QEMU.
+Please keep in mind that a virtualized environment does not provide the same amount of security as an ephemeral system (see *Prepare environment* above).
+Here is an example QEMU invocation after placing `yubikeyLive` in `result/iso` using the above `nix build` command:
