Hi Jason!  An added benefit of a slimmed down install is that there
are fewer vectors of attack.  If you're using OpenBSD, that's probably
important to you.
You could always start with flashdist and add what you need/want.
My only other advice is to make an image of the finalized CF card and
keep it somewhere safe, or dupe the card.
good luck!
