Hi Jan,

Thanks for the suggestions! We changed so much throughout the stack we 
felt it would be better to start each machine off with a fresh installation.

Admittedly I've never used lorax, but would the removal of 
drivers/firmware reduce the size of the install.img file? That's the 
part that can't fit over the network if using a machine with less than 
~3G of RAM.

Best,

Sean
