This reminds me--is ufed included on the installation CD yet?  When you
first build your system is the time when you most need to customize your
USE variables, but ufed is not available!  At least, it wasn't the last
time I installed (I believe I used rc 4).  When it gets included, it should
be made-note-of in the install docs as well.
