First, I want to express my appreciation to all who responded to this
question (listed below). The response was great and fast!
Most everyone replied that you can add additional software through the
"add_services" command in /usr/etc/install. One went a step further and
advised to choose the "edit existing release" option from the menu.
Several also said you could just mount the CD and look around and tar
off whatever you need (if you're sure what you need).
