Why would this be a "good" idea ?? Is everyone going to be using the *same* type machine ?? Same video board? This concept of "one idiot button install" has a LOT of drawbacks for the end-user. And they'll blame FreeBSD.org, not you! If your intent is to automate it for a common workstation configuration, I understand. But if your ultimate goal is along the lines IBM/Microsuk went... You certainly have a lot of gall, using FreeBSD in your email id. Couldn't you be more creative?? Unix systems measure "uptime" in years, Winblows measures it in minutes.
