NEW • Development Release: penBSD |
| Have you ever wanted a BSD operating system on a bootable USB pen drive? This is now a possibility, courtesy of the FreeSBIE project, which has just released a test image of "penBSD": "A test image of a minimal FreeSBIE, suitable for external support like USB pen or compact flash, is now available for download. If you want to help us testing it, you can download the image and script in the same directory, plug in your USB pen, and launch flashfreesbie.sh. Possibility of booting depends on your computer's BIOS. Although the uncompressed image is 64MB, it contains only ~20MB of data. The flash script will format your device, mount it, mount the image in loopback and copy files from it. Therefore, I think that also 32MB support will work. Please help us testing and give us your impressions." This is the full announcement. Download the image from here: FreeSBIE-pen.img.bz2 (43.9MB).

| About FreeSBIE |
| FreeSBIE is a live system on CD, or an operating system that is able to load directly from a bootable CD, without any installation process, without any hard disk. It's based on the FreeBSD operating system. FreeSBIE project goals are mainly two: to develop a suite of programs to be used to create your own CD, with all the personalisations you like, and to make various ISO images available, maybe each one with different goals and possible uses. The project is developed by the main Italian FreeBSD User Group: GUFI. |
