mplayer with FreeBSD/FreeSBIE

 I wonder why is it so hard to find a "wish list" if
there is already knoppix phenomenon out there (both
the 'technical' and 'social' one) ;-)
 But anyway here it goes (and I hope this short "new"
list does not give you guys qualms):
 ._ make sure mplayer works
 ._ bash shell should be included, maybe it should be
the shell
 ._ FreeBSD a la Debian/debootstrap + base-config
 ._ do not include vi and emacs and nano and ... (why
so many editors? just vi + Kate is fine)
 ._ have a FreeSBIE baseline with three complete
functional options for application stack, namely;
media-rich user, development and server with scripts
to enhance/change them
 ._ go to knoppix.net and try to search and stratify
the numerous issues with the applications users have
 . . .

 yes, a DSL modem
