Yes, in the guide, a vmware image is also defined. I concluded it was a more
sophisticated way of doing it, but I wanted to be 100% sure. Thank you very
much.

Yes, but the profiles are more powerful, because you can define multiple
different ones. For example, I have different profiles for different emulators,
different profiles for USB-stick and harddrive partition, and different
profiles depending on how fast I want the result (ie bare bones or full
featured).
