Let's mention the new way to install the latest changes without
rebuilding the image. Let's also remove the duplicate info about
distribution packages that is already mentioned in its own section.

After enabling this setting, the source and build directories will be mounted to
`/work/src` and `/work/build` respectively when booting the image as a container
or virtual machine. To build the latest changes and re-install, run
`meson install -C /work/build --only-changed` in the container or virtual machine
and optionally restart the daemon(s) you're working on using
`systemctl restart <units>` or `systemctl daemon-reexec` if you're working on pid1
or `systemctl soft-reboot` to restart everything.
Aside from the image, the `mkosi.output` directory will also be populated with a
set of distribution packages. Assuming you're running the same distribution and
release as the mkosi image, you can install these rpms on your host or test
system as well for any testing or debugging that cannot easily be performed in a
VM or container.
By default, no debuginfo packages are produced. To produce debuginfo packages,
run mkosi with the `WITH_DEBUG` environment variable set to `1`:
or virtual machine. To build the latest changes and re-install after booting the
image, run `mkosi -t none` in another terminal on the host and run one of the
following commands in the container or virtual machine depending on the
distribution:
```sh
$ mkosi -E WITH_DEBUG=1 -f
dnf upgrade --disablerepo="*" /work/build/*.rpm # CentOS/Fedora
apt install --reinstall /work/build/*.deb # Debian/Ubuntu
pacman -U /work/build/*.pkg.tar # Arch Linux
zypper install --allow-unsigned-rpm /work/build/*.rpm # OpenSUSE
```
or configure it in `mkosi.local.conf`:
```conf
[Content]
Environment=WITH_DEBUG=1
```
and optionally restart the daemon(s) you're working on using
`systemctl restart <units>` or `systemctl daemon-reexec` if you're working on
pid1 or `systemctl soft-reboot` to restart everything.
