i've been asked by my company to put together a basic cd that can install a 
basic freebsd5 system just by putting in the disc and turning it on.  it'd 
have to have a base number of packages and be configured for networking etc 
at bootup etc.

but here's the problem.  i'm a gentoo-linux guy.  i'm still very new to bsd 
and i'm running circles trying to figure out what i'm supposed to be looking 
at for this.  i found the livecd in ports, but i *think* it's made for 
freebsd4 since the livecd.sh keeps failing when trying to copy certain files 
from the cd, so i'm still lost.

is this a common thing?  is there a howto i should be looking at?  am i on the 
right track with the livecd?  input is greatly appreciated.
