I recently had occasion to do an install onto a rather slow machine.
Based on that, it occurs to me that it might be a good idea to make
sysinst capable of handling uncompressed tarballs, for use on machnes
where it's quicker to load uncompressed stuff over the net than it is
to load compressed stuff and uncompress it locally.

Of course, since I'm not volunteering to do it.... :-/
