This is mostly where the problem lies, unfortunately. Resolving deltas does require quite a bit of CPU power and a 4-core ARM system is just not that powerful. > 1. https://www.kernel.org/cloning-linux-from-a-bundle.html > 2. do that on a better system > 3. copy the .git folder over via NFS...

I've considered providing something like this directly from kernel.org, but this is fundamentally different from git cloning and requires a whole different level of trust that I'm not comfortable with. -K'
