I had intended to build the image on a laptop with minimal disk space (say 5gb) 
and then increase disk space when uploading to ESXi (we need say 100gb). The 
issue with is  that doing so does not automatically expand the LV to fill the 
space (any hints welcome else I'll look it up).

I can build on the server directly but I need to store the built images and 
keep them in, say, Nexus. Smaller is better...

Anyhow, the floppy gave me an idea: how reasonable is it to have the machine 
built with static ip but such that if a floppy is present on boot that it 
copies over eth1-cfg with what's on disk and does a network restart?

This would allow for post-configuration of the image depending on what's in the 
floppy mount per VM.

Thanks, Martin
