things to include in a flash archive

I am making a flash archive to use as a base to lay down on all incoming servers.

I am wondering about Sun Explorer and Sun CST.

Is it ok to install these (but not configure them) on my source machine and create the archive?

Im just not sure if it would cause problems down the line, like if either of these apps puts machine specific info into any of its config files which would cause problems if two machines on the same network had the flash archive installed on them.

Basically, should i put explorer and CST into a flash archive? or should I install those manually after the base flash image has been laid down.

Does anyone have any good flash archive best practices that I might be able to see?

NAME
curs_beep, beep, flash - curses bell and screen flash routines SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lcurses [ library ... ] #include <curses.h> int beep(void); int flash(void); DESCRIPTION
The beep() and flash() routines are used to signal the terminal user. The routine beep() sounds the audible alarm on the terminal, if pos- sible; if that is not possible, it flashes the screen (visible bell), if that is possible. The routine flash() flashes the screen, and if that is not possible, sounds the audible signal. If neither signal is possible, nothing happens. Nearly all terminals have an audible sig- nal (bell or beep), but only some can flash the screen. RETURN VALUES
These routines always return OK. ATTRIBUTES
