that do zcat [partition image.gz] >/dev/partition

We have a two step process. First we run a script that creates the
master image as a tgz. The image is created at an alternate root using
the -C option of pkg_add and the DESTDIR option of the various OS
install scripts. We only run this script when we need to make a change
to the master image.

We use this image to create bootable USB sticks, and when a system is
booted from one of these sticks there is automatic startup logic that
clones the disk onto the target hard drive of the box (configuring the

good but seems quite overcomplex expecially this pkg_add.

why just not to compress whole filesystem(s) by tar+gzip?
