ok… i agree with all those changes / requests… however i think 9 is currently possible. I believe you would need to modify the init.gz to include what you want done… so for example, i use debug-deploy to change the MTU size to 9198 to take advantage of jumbo frames then launch fog from the command line to start the image.
I am seriously considering modifying the init.gz to make this happen from the standard fog process of deployment.
from a programming point of view, I think it is possible to give it steps to do, you would just end up with a heavily customised fog installation which would be useless if you went to upgrade to support new hardware / software…
