      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      `bootc switch` to a local image, not using a Registry.

      It was discovered later that we need to use

      # bootc switch --transport=containers-storage localhost/image:tag

      This is not clear via the man page or help page which only offer 3 examples:

       

             --transport=TRANSPORT [default: registry]
                    The transport; e.g. oci, oci-archive.  Defaults to `registry`

       

       

      The man page could reference the containers-storage man page which defines 8 additional options you can use, 

       

         containers-storage:[[storage-specifier]]{image-id|docker-reference[@image-id]}   dir:path
         docker://docker-reference
         docker-archive:path[:{docker-reference|@source-index}]
         docker-daemon:docker-reference|algo:digest
         oci:path[:reference]
         oci-archive:path[:reference]
         ostree:docker-reference[@/absolute/repo/path]
      

      Or even better if it listed all the viable targets.

      Secondarily the documentation has 0 instances of `-transport`. If this is a supported process, it needs to be in the documentation
