ftp is pretty essential to my cdrom bootstrap. After
a basic install, I do dhclient then use ftp to get
scripts to execute. please don't take away ftp. I've
used ftpd on occasion but have no reason not to see
it move it to pkgsrc.

Normally I'm all for removing extra programs from
base. But, I don't use pam/ssh and without ftp, not
sure how I'd get rsa keys setup for access.

on the other hand, adding static ksh, find, grep and
vi (or all of /rescue) to the cdrom iso would be
handy...
