This is great, and I think it's the way to go. Since I had to repair my
system the last days with a 'FixIt' CD, I think this mode could get even
more improvement. It would be nice, if there where some additional
system repair tools available on this CD (license permitting, of
course). You'd just have to make sure to still install a clean FreeBSD.
This could be accomplished by using unionfs for the 'enhanced fixit
overlay' or something like that.

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool,
than to speak, and remove all doubt.
