Hello. I have an idea that, in FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE, the code of freebsd-update is included. If SA is announced, it would be nice. When so, iso-image is still 7.1-RELEASE not 7.1-RELEASE-p1. So, if someone intend to install 7.1-RELEASE, and if network is coonnected, the installer runs the freebsd-update script and it will be secure install. Please take this idea into account. Sincerely, G. Otsuji.

Note that we can even make the script configurable to install and reboot system. Also, I always wish that the official installation disc to ship with a portsnap tarball which included the snapshot at the tagged time, instead of just do a tarball of export of CVS ports/, and use portsnap instead. This will make the first time portsnap execution much less painful. Another idea is to ship /var/db/mergemaster.mtree with the installation.
