I generally roll my own in a chrooted environment on my faster servers (3x |
8 |
Dell 2650s with distcc ) and then tar up the results. If you're doing |
9 |
your own installs, you're not bound by what Daniel puts in the various |
10 |
stages - mine typically have everything but the kernal compile, grub, |
11 |
fstab, /etc/hosts, and /etc/hostname. As much as I love watching things |
12 |
compile, I'll never go back to compiling KDE on a standalone syste :) |

OTOH, If you're building a rescue cd, you don't actually need any stages |
15 |
at all. I regularly use the latest ISO to mount ntfs volumes and fix |
16 |
issues with them. I've never tried to mount a UFS volume, so I don't know |
17 |
if this would work on a *BSD machine, but then those rarely need rescuing |
18 |
anyway. |
