Hi,
I have seen many ways on releasing a customized GNU/Linux distro.
But how can I build a new distro (possibly a live distro with install
feature) based entirely on BSD (FreeBSD) with a graphical user
interface (gnome) and customized packages.
Since BSD's are a true OS that's rock stable and secure as well as
reliable than a mere kernel Linux I really want to make a distro based
on BSD.
Please help.
Thank You

The release(7) manual page should be a good place to start.
