A new feature has been added with the release of Whonix 9, that has not had the announcement it deserves yet.
There are currently two ways to set up a Whonix-Custom-Workstation. Either 1) manually create a VM (old, stable way); or 2) download and import Whonix-Custom-Workstation (experimental, testers-only). That latter way is new and testing is welcome!
Documentation on the https://www.whonix.org/wiki/Other_Operating_Systems wiki page has been updated.

I need to append ISO of the OS I would like to use with the Custom Workstation? So I use Wheezy ISO (as an example), install it, and then configure eth0 and edit /etc/resolv.conf?
Why is it advised to rename the VM? Whonix-Custom-Worksation sounds perfect to me.
Yes.
To avoid confusion/questions when users want to import another Whonix-Custom-Workstation. So they have distinct names and no name conflicts when importing.
