I remember days when this fits to 50MB and now it is almost 235MB which renders it almost useless. For recoveries and remote installs I always use mfsbsd images (about 45MB). I wholeheartedly agree. It sucks having to transfer more than 50 MB over our work link across a few thousand miles with IPMI remote KVM redirection.
