I don't see the point in adding FTP - HTTP is superior in any way. Other than that: Our .sfs images are rather tiny, you will barely notice the difference, so no objections from me.
OK, I will only add darkhttp. If HTTP works then also FTP will work from the point of view of the hook.
Indeed. My concerns with FTP again: 1) gPXE/iPXE do not support FTP as it seems (only HTTP). 2) In general, FTP is more problematic from the network point-of-view, as it needs to open two connections. 3) HTTP is more stable than FTP from my experience.
geek comment: maybe it just fit in the multiple of current ISO padding size :P
I prefer to remaster the ISO onto USB (copy /arch, install syslinux) or netboot it over the internet. My concern therefore is the size of the .sfs files, not the actual .iso.
