I would be happy to rewrite the whole thing, if I could
do a soft updates like license for the first year, and
still be permitted distribute it as "FreeBSD".

I might even be willing to fix up that Java stuff, and
run the Java version of InstallShield to do the work...

I'm kind of annoyed that it looks like my patches for
the KERNCONF haven't made it in, so that the next time
I roll a 4.3-RELEASE CDROM with my own bits on it, I'm
going to have exactly the same problem with not having
a kernel.GENERIC (stomping "GENERIC" locally is not a
viable option, since it would collide with repository
changes to the GENERIC file).

Makes me not want to fix other things in the code, like
it's internal list of packages, rather than reading them
from a file on the CDROM, and really bloating the program
image considerably, or the use of the path instead of
the description line when displaying packages to be
installed, etc..
