I'd like to create my own installation media that will have certain things installed, like a web management UI that I'm actively working on. It'd be like what pfSense does. I did do a little googling and found pfSense's build documentation for spinning a custom build of pfSense. I'll be spending the weekend looking over their work. But in the meantime, does anyone know of the steps involved in such a process? Is the process documented somewhere? Thanks, Shawn
