I would like to have the LX brand installer script take an optional "-t <full path to tarball or tgz>" pathname in lieu of "-s <full path to zfs snapshot...>" to populate an LX zone.  It appears that at least this can work manually.

How do I get my hands on a docker tarball?  URLs to said tarballs are appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan
