Subject: [PATCH] save-image: add a lil helper for setting the auto accept
 marker for system-image
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This is intended for users that don’t have TTY access, such as SSH sessions.
Best used with a script that sets the auto reject marker on boot.
There will be a server profile that comes with that by default.
