Is there a way to use WinDbg while the system is online without using a
serial cable?

You can do a live kernel debug but it is not close to a real kernel debug.
It is basically a skeletal snapshot in time of the system.

If you are just wanting to play with kernel debugging but only have one
machine - use a VM and debug that. search for "Kernel debugging a virtual
PC" in the windbg docs for more info on that.

The reason I am asking is because there are a lot of "kernel" commands
in the Windows Internal book, can I use the Live Kernel Debug to run
those commands? If so, how do I do it?
