Yes, you can apply all patches in timely order to the various sources and do a
buildworld / installworld / buildkernel / installkernel cyclus 

.. as described here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

I don't know enough to answer the question with the checksum. 
Why do you want to replace the kernel and ports on the INSTALL cd? If you build
your own distribution you can take what kernel (and what packages) you want
much more easily.

A description is found here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/advanced.html#CUSTREL

I think you like to try the "Staying -STABLE" process. There is a branch in the
CVS repository that is mainly the released version of FreeBSD plus the security
patches.

try:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cutting-edge.html

and set in your cvsupfile the following line
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4
to
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_3
... or whatever release you want to follow.

Yes. It is called "TrustedBSD".

More can be found under:
http://www.trustedbsd.org/

That "removing services" thing has discussed recently. If the process goes on
from the FreeBSD 4.4 release onward no telnetd will be started anymore - if you
want it that way. There will be a new option in the sysinstall program.


Hope that helps
