Yes, that makes sense. thanks.
I've now added this to the git repository, so it should make the 0.6.0 release.
Per IRC discussion(on #aeolus) , the timing with virt-install(4-5
min) / oz-install(9-10 min) is interesting. If this can be worked on
, batch installs with oz can also be quickened. Thanks for your
time..
Right. Part of the speed problem is all of the manipulations that Oz does to
the ISO image. If we can eliminate that, we could speed up the builds.
The --initrd-inject flag to virt-install looks interesting; I'll look at that
when I get some free time and think about how we could use something similar
in Oz.
Thanks again,
