@sigulete You appear to still be in the editor on your article. Can you please close it? Thanks.
@sigulete I've done an edit pass on your article. I made a few changes to smooth the language flow and added a couple of links to external info on OCI etc. Nothing major there. I also used the "keyboard-entry" style on some of the text that comes from your containerfile demo. This is to clarify that it is unique.
I note, as a non-bootc user, I feel it might be worth mentioning how to place the ISO on a USB or CD/DVD ROM and use it to boot from. That may be a known to those used to this process but it would clarify things for someone new to it. No need for details but a link or 2-3 sentences is all that might be needed.
Let us know if you have questions and feel free to edit further.
Also, I've added a featured image but if you have ideas, let us know. It can be replaced.

@rlengland I didn't realise about the "keyboard-entry" option, good advise. I used this option for some other instruction-like text to make it easier to understand.
I added more explanation around the ISO, and I also expanded the troubleshooting section with a new item that based on forums, seems a common issue.
Thanks for the image. All good from my end.
