Likely. I have mkosi 22 here. > I'll use the images Cédric has kindly generated. Thanks, images by Cédric look good, but I forgot to tell you that you need a SSH key for login too :) You could unpack image.cpio.gz, add your key to root/.ssh and repack the whole thing to image.new.xz: - mkdir xtract && cd xtract - unxz < ../image.cpio.xz | cpio -H newc -iv - cp ~/.ssh/authorized_keys root/.ssh/ - find . 2>/dev/null | cpio -o -c -R root:root | xz -9 --format=lzma > ../image.new.xz
