Boot image vs PXE install

The thread from Tomasz is interesting. I was jsut in the mode of thinking that armv7 builds would be copy an image to SD and go.

I mean how much time to you save on an PXE build to SD versus xzcat to SD? I might think that for the basic build, xzcat on a host is faster. Then you run a script that does what kickstart does. The only consideration I have so far with this is sizing the partitions on the SD card. I would like a larger swap to prepare for when I can hibernate to swap and getting the / partition to fill the card.

But then I started working with the partitions on the HDD. It is a little harder to move a HDD between systems than a mSD card, so minimum boot from an SD card that then did the kickstart to the HDD (or SSD) makes more sense.

I can pull the F22-arm and repo to my local server; I do that for a number of distros every night (rsync changes) and do testing of a local install that way. Of course my repo is on a different subnet than my install testing; I would have to put up the PXE boot function, etc.

So, lending a hand on a more Anaconda-style install to HD from a minimal SD card is something that I can help with, point me to what I can do to help.
