freeBSD LiveCD
hi
is it 7.0-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso LiveCD ? |
|

Yes it is. You need disc1 as well in order to boot into "a live CD-based filesystem''. Check out the details from http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/announce.html.

The livefs CD is very useful for cloning systems, as it gets you a live, working FreeBSD system, booted off a CD. Anything you can do with a minimal install of FreeBSD on a harddrive, you can do from the livefs. It comes in handy quite a bit.
However, it's not a LiveCD in the sense that you can use it for everyday work. It's more a fixit/rescue/test CD. CD1 is not needed for any of the above. The livefs is a bootable CD. |

The "emergency holographic shell" on the install CDs is almost useless, as it only has access to the handful of commands that are on the install CD, mostly geared toward installing the OS. The spectrum of LiveCDs for FreeBSD goes something like: emergency holographic shell on install cd -> livefs/fixit cd -> frenzy livecd -> freesbie livecd -> pcbsd livecd The last two get you a GUI running off the livecd. Frenzy is a network/sysadmin CLI tool (FreeBSD+a bunch of useful ports). |

FreeBSD livecd
Hello,
I wrote my onw script to build my own FreeBSD livecd, because I am no able to find a good alternative to my needs. actually, It take too more humain interactions to create because I don't use "make" (I don't know how to use it). I try to keep the way FreeBSD start and use the rc.d script file. I create a base system and I am able to fork and add some packages to do a firewall (wifi, etc.) and a print server with cups and samba. The big problem is to load at boot time the configuration that the user (me) saved on a media, but I finally do it (floppy or usb). I learned from frenzy and tinybsd. It will be great to have a general script to build an iso image (liveCD) for FreeBSD. Regards L2F |
