I've now added this to the git repository, so it should make the 0.6.0 release.
Nice, that was quick.

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.
Great. --initrd-inject has been much more convenient with virt-installs than pulling the
'ks' from the http server( as there is an element of uncertainty..)
Thanks again,
