 * Yeah, that's cool.  I wondered if there might be a way to use FTP
 * but not have to store the tar images locally.  Would this work?
 * 
 * 	# mkfifo /dev/pipe
 * 	# tar xfp /dev/pipe &
 * 	# ftp ...
 * 	ftp> get some_tar_image /dev/pipe
 * 
 * I haven't tried it with FTP yet...
 * 

Yes, there is a way to ftp without storing the tar images locally:

# ftp ...
ftp> cd right_place
ftp> lcd local_right_place
ftp> get this-file "|tar xvfp -"
[repeat as necessary[
ftp> quit
# reboot

America is quite possibly the only country to go from barbarism to
decadence without the requisite intervening period of civilisation.
