My customization recipe for SystemRescue:

Dependencies

squashfs-tools, xorriso (provided by dev-libs/libisoburn package in gentoo GNU/Linux) and sysrescue-customize.sh are required to apply these customizations

Description

This recipe adds the following to the custom ISO:

• It adds an "authorized_keys" file in /root/.ssh/ so I can connect to the custom SystemRescue via SSH and authenticate with my SSH keys
• It adds an "id_ed25519" file in /root/.ssh/ so I can connect to other devices through ssh (.gitignored for security reasons)
• It adds a custom autorun script to open inbound and outbound connections on port 22 for ssh connections
• It adds a settings yaml file which overrides the default settings so the custom SystemRescue starts with my own preferences, such as a spanish keyboard, it copies the system into RAM (so the boot device can be removed), it adds a persistent storage volume (see: persistent-storage for further instructions) and it automatically starts the graphical environment.

Please note the ".squashfs-pseudo" file is important to enforce correct permissions and ownership on the /root directory and its contents. You should update this file is you add more custom files into the system through the SRM.
