I took this one step further -- The PicoBSD Install floppy just pulls
down a tarball of a running system, splats it on, and does anything else
you want to/can do from a shell script. Works quite well and is easy to
update -- install, change the image, rebuild image. You can even edit
the install script on the floppy without rebuilding the floppy.
We also don't bother to stay -STABLE -- we're on 3.2-S with some kernel
hacks and it works fine, so we don't touch it :)
