List, how does one go about creating a FreeBSD install CD-ROM? I'd like to be able to build my own CD-ROM with as much as possible of the install process done automatically. For instance, what parts of FreeBSD to install: X or not, games or not, etc. etc. And which ports to install straight away. I could also set up cfengine so that as soon as the machine came to life it could go and connect to my cfengine repository and download all the latest configurations to move into operational status. E.g., I'd like to just have to specify the partition layout, the name and IP of the machine, and its role(s): (web, dns, squid, mta, samba...) This would make rebuilding so much faster if a machine was catastrophically trashed. And it would make my computing installation much less dependent on me. Thanks for any pointers to documentation on the subject, I'm sure people have done this before, but I can't coax the results out from my web searches. Thanks, David
