    Also note that our installer is in fact a customization of the base
    live CD.  If you look at /usr/src/nrelease/Makefile you will note
    that the installer is built like this:

    INSTALLER_ENV= EXTRA_PACKAGES="${INSTALLER_PKGS}" \
		    EXTRA_ROOTSKELS="${INSTALLER_SKELS}"

    installer_release:
		    ${INSTALLER_ENV} ${MAKE} release

    e.g. the installer target just makes the normal release target with
    EXTRA_PACKAGES and EXTRA_ROOTSKELS to specify the additional packages
    and the root filesystem override directory.  The installer's skeleton
    root filesystem override is in /usr/src/nrelease/installer.

    It's definitely a few coasters but once you've played with it for a while
    building a customized ISO is *really* easy.

I really like the installer , there are a couple bells and whistles I would like to add , or help add , who is currently maintaining it/ working on it ?
I`ve done a couple one off hacked up one off installers for various deployments of BSD and Linux. so I`ve already made some of the good mistakes. I have hundreds of coasters.
