It's 'lxc init'. 'lxd init' is something entirely different :)

I recall stephane(?) mention this command a long time ago. Worst-case
scenario, 'lxc launch' and 'lxc stop --force' should pretty much do the
same thing, since the difference is whether the container is started or not
:)

The key point here is 'use the smallest image available'. And then (when
it's stopped) overwrite it (or in my case, replace it with send/receive
from another dataset)
