Hi there!
=20
Is there any plans for a bootstrap port? What I mean is there anything
that can take a mini install and bring it up to date easily? I am
looking at something that would do:

1) install and run "fastest cvsup server"
2) update the ports-cvsup file with the fastest one
3) install "ports maintenance tools"
4) rebuild the database
5) run portupgrade
6) install a monthly or weekly cvsup cron job
7) run a custom script with a list of  common packages I want (rsync,
sudo, wget, webmin, etc)

I ask this becuase every time I install FreeBSD, I seem to be doing the
exact same thing every time. When I install Fedora, they do this for me
with up2date.
