A few of us have been experimenting with having growfs run automatically on first boot. Seems to work okay, it just requires a couple of iterations to figure out the "proper" minimal FS size to start with. If the FS is minimally sized, then there aren't many empty blocks to worry about. The big advantage of DD images is that there are plentiful tools for Windows, Mac, etc, that can splat them onto a USB stick or SD card. Tim
