Hmm, not sure what you mean. A squashfs package on the iso or the
unsquashfs as part of the binaries available after booting the iso?
In both cases it dosn't solve your problem IMO, because you either
need unsuashfs to access the iso, or a running crux system to install
the package. Or do I miss something?

Good question, but don't think so. Would you mind writing a short
guide in our wiki, please?
