Nice. I had considered using HTTP, but didn't want to deviate from the<br>
"recommended" approach. Well. Up until I decided to completely the<br>
approach. ;)<br>
<br>
That is also a much smaller initrd!<br>
<br>
The main reason I changed was to be able to configure the disk layout,<br>
the much faster build was a very pleasant side effect.<br>
