Hello Forrest, Take a look at the "FreeBSD From Scratch " article by Jens Schweikhardt at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/fbsd-from-scratch/in dex.html.
"This article describes my efforts at FreeBSD From Scratch: a fully automated installation of a customized FreeBSD system compiled from source, including compilation of all your favorite ports and configured to match your idea of the perfect system. If you think make world is a wonderful concept, FreeBSD From Scratch extends it to make evenmore." It should at least get you going on the right path.

I've been Googling for some information on this (and the Handbook). We have a scenario whereby we'll be building (over time) several mostly-identical systems. There are similar tasks that will need to be performed on those systems (copying over accounts, passwords, homedirectories), and certain *.conf changes, etc. There has to be a decent way to accomplish this, other than manually per-system or having to build a make-release with some customizations. I have seen GNU CFEngine, but it seems like overkill. I'd appreciate some recommendations/pointers.
