The first thing I do while the system is installing is run csup(1) to get the latest source, build and install world/kernel, and build all my ports. I also setup my gmirror and do all my configuration. The only reason I reboot is to use the latest kernel and mount from the mirror. I'd like to see other OSes do all of that. -- Rick C. Petty
