Thanks John. Much appreciated. I'm downloading and re-compressing them with xz right now.
Quick question - what did you add to the basic rootfs compared to the original one? 397MB is a lot bigger than the previous version. Also you might want to up the dd block size in your instructions to 4MB or even 8MB. Most SD cards these days are crap and have huge erase block sizes in the 4-8MB range, so it might save a few extra erase cycles.
