📄 Description

Thanks for making netboot.xyz!

This commit adds ALT Linux Rescue, a tool which I've used in the past for various maintenance purposes and used again today to get convenient access to ipmitool on a series of diskless machines. This image is larger than I'd like -- about 400 MB -- but it works. I put it in the Utilities menu but there's an argument for the Live menu too.

One snag: I'm unclear on how image signatures are generated. prep-release.sh signs the scripts, but something else signs the images… right?

I ask because this changeset points to an image which is regularly rebuilt and for which signatures will therefore regularly become invalid. There are dated builds available which could be used to get consistent binaries, but this comes at the cost of periodically updating the date and regenerating the signatures. I would be happy to script that but I don't know where or how best to make that happen.
