[clue] Slow Pi installs.

[David L. Anselmi]

So you can download an image to use with the Pi.  The Raspbian Wheezy image has a lot of stuff (like 
a desktop) I don't want and removing it all takes hours.

There's an installer, but it requires you connect a KVM.  That's a hassle.

So I'm thinking about modifying the installer to add net console.  Unfortunately building the 
installer image or modifying it doesn't seem to be well documented (but it doesn't look complex so 
it should be possible).  Supposedly a base install is over an hour but I wouldn't need several to 
add a whole desktop.

Or maybe using debootstrap to build an image might be better.  Might have to build the boot 
partition by hand in that case, but that would be easy too.  That wouldn't be limited by SD card or 
ARM speed.
