Description

First attempt at installation didn't work.

Screenshots (optional)

When I first ran the installation script, all appeared to work well, bur there were some errors:
winpodx had appeared in the Xfce application dropdown under system, but didn't run, nor could I run it directly from the terminal either.
On investigation, one of the links I looked at suggested that I add a line to my sources.list:

the following line was added on 27-04-26 to assist in the installation of kenalix7/winpod

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-backports main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

After saving the revised sources.list, I rebooted, and ran update and then upgrade.
The missing items from my earlier attempted install were added.

Another reboot and then using the command from Github:

"docker run -it --rm --name windows -e "VERSION=11" -p 8006:8006 --device=/dev/kvm --device=/dev/net/tun --cap-add NET_ADMIN -v "${PWD:-.}/windows:/storage" --stop-timeout 120 docker.io/dockurr/windows"

the magic happened.

Thank you.
