Just wanted to flag this up for folks: the changes to lorax were made
to reduce the size of the network install images below the 700M limit,
and involve stripping more stuff out of the installer environment (the
runtime environment of the network install and Server DVD images). Even
more terrifyingly they were written by me, so please test them ;)
Especially if you have exotic hardware or do weird stuff in the
installer environment, please check that it still works.

You can see the actual changes that were made here:

https://github.com/weldr/lorax/commit/a589a4d2 (no notification-daemon)
https://github.com/weldr/lorax/commit/3cf3a18c (cut video playback
acceleration drivers)
https://github.com/weldr/lorax/commit/ffc49fe3 (cut gnome-firmware and
sigrok-firmware)
https://github.com/weldr/lorax/commit/f231e915 (pull polkit-gnome
instead of lxpolkit and GTK+ 2)
https://github.com/weldr/lorax/commit/727dc5e5 (cut various hopefully
unnecessary firmware files)
https://github.com/weldr/lorax/commit/9ead517e (another firmware cut)
https://github.com/weldr/lorax/commit/49190376 (one more firmware cut)

thanks folks!
