It would be quite slick if the installer would present you with a list of the
preferred stuff, then upon your first login, along with asking you to change
your root password, a script would chug along in hte background installing all
the ports.  (Packages are for wimps).

Another option that would be really nice in the installer, would be a method by
which you could choose to keep -stable updated.  Meaning, it makes a cron entry
so once a week it cvsup's the source.

I'm afraid I just can't follow /stand/sysinstall source very well to implement
these :(
