The FreeBSD LiveCD Tool Set main goal is allowing one to generate
|
|
custom FreeBSD Live CDs. FreeBSD LiveCD was born as a Brazilian
|
|
FreeBSD User Group (www.fugspbr.org) project. The objective was to
|
|
create a tool that would allow us a safe diagnostic method under
|
|
emergency enviroments and specially as a rescue disk where FreeBSD
|
|
partitions could only be accessed (mounted) externally.
|
|
|
|
What is LiveCD? Its such a simple answer, it is nothing but a set
|
|
of patches applied to the FreeBSD Initialization files allowing the
|
|
system to run from a CDROM, setting the best way to either mount
|
|
under Memory File System (MFS) or Virtual Nodes (vnodes) those
|
|
filesystems that need Write and Read access. Slices that just need
|
|
Read access are still run from the CD.
|
|
|
|
Can I use it to install FreeBSD? Yes, with recent revision 1.2, it
|
|
can install a FreeBSD system without any other disks. It also support
|
|
batch operation mode for automated installation processes.
|
|
|
|
Is LiveCD any different from an ordinarily installed FreeBSD system?
|
|
It is a completely functional FreeBSD system just like any ordinarily
|
|
installed one. You will be able to both run any applications and
|
|
mount any filesystems as any FreeBSD system would allow you.
