I'll take a look.

I'd still like to know a bit more about your use-case. I know very little
about what other people out there are doing with PTXdist, so it's sometimes
hard to decide if I can rip out some old stuff of if it's still needed.

It it a initramfs only setup, or is there a normal rootfs as well? In the
later case, how do you create the initramfs? Which packages are part of
initramfs?

Regards,
Michael
