Indeed. 8 seconds to install the archive for NFS; 10 seconds for HTTP and FTP (due to initial buffering; I could fix that, but I don't think it's worth making things more complicated). > Now that I have a working prototype, I thought I'd ask whether this > is something that would be considered for upstream official anaconda. The one thing left in my prototype that I'm not sure about is capability for splitting an archive across multiple media. I started implementing this but didn't spend a lot of time on it. It has occurred to me that I don't see media switching used a lot, and don't even know if that support (which still seems to exist in some places in the code) is intended to be maintained in the future. It would be simpler to ignore it entirely. If it's something that would be valuable, I can implement it; if not, I'll clean out the stubs and offer up the initial patch for comment.
