A few more First-Day issues

[Peter Rasmussen]

When I come to the point where I am able to build and boot on an image 
that contains the packages that I want, be assured that telnetd and ftpd 
will soon be a part of it. Using ssh is overkill when working in a safe 
and known environment with limited CPU and storage resources, so I bring 
it up.

You may have noticed that the mail I sent wasn't just about this issue, 
so why did you choose to comment on just this?
