Would it be possible/feasible to some of the mirrors to mount the ISO as
a loopback so that we could simply mirror/update packages? Frankly, the
only system I hav available for testing I would prefer not to do fresh
installs on (and as I recall, the upgrade code is still terribly slow).
Side note to Pixel: While the installer has improved tremendously since
you started the GI, it is still *much* slower than the old one we used
on 6.x (ca. 40 minutes to install 1 GB, compared to 15-18 with the 6.x
installer on a p200). Ignoring interface changes, what about the
installer is causing these slowdowns?
