Andreas & others-

If I wanted to start testing the current state of boot images,
would

 	pkg update # followed by a reboot
 	pkg install distribution-constructor
 	sudo distro_const build slim_cd_x86.xml

be the best early approximation of the new boot images?  Obviously
not everything that will be in 2021.04 has landed yet, but are those
steps reasonable, to give me images that will be similar to 2021.04?

I ask because I've been making periodic trips to my workplace's
datacenter, as we're retiring some systems and getting ready for network
changes.  I would have several opportunities to test OI images on
both old and new hardware we have.

I expect that it's going to take some time and some back-and-forth
with you, Toomas, and others to troubleshoot some of the issues we've
seen in the past, especially with the USB images.  I would like to get
started on that process.

Thanks,

Tim
