 [^1]: Initial boot fully preserves system's original state (config files & installed packages): a fresh system will therefore come-up as unconfigured.
 
 [^2]: About bundled ssh keys: this overlay is meant to **quickly bootstrap** system in order to then proceed with proper install; therefore it purposely embeds [some ssh keys](https://github.com/macmpi/alpine-linux-headless-bootstrap/tree/main/overlay/tmp/.trash) so that bootstrapping is as fast as possible. Those temporary keys are moved in RAM /tmp: they will **not be stored/reused** once actual system install is performed (whether or not ssh server is installed in final setup).
