Good tips here, assuming that you're willing to keep a build server around.
But what if you're doing a fresh install at a customer site (with Internet 
feed), and want to get from floppies to a reasonably secure system without 
headaches? Also, won't "make installworld" nuke some of the customization
you've done to each machine? And what if you're running with SECURELEVEL=2
on your production servers?
