You also might want to check out "FreeBSD To Go", a project that I have been working on. The URL is: http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/freebsdtogo/ In case sourceforge is unresponsive, the latest release can be downloaded from: http://www.acm.rpi.edu/~lansil/freebsdtogo-0.2.tar.gz This project is based on some work I did for RPI last semester. The idea was to make a bootable CD that would boot into a web browser, to allow students to take a web-based test on their laptops. I finished this project for the school, and decided to make a more general solution that would trivialize the process of creating bootable FreeBSD CDs. I released this solution as "FreeBSD To Go" on sourceforge, a few weeks ago. Work is still in a very early stage, and there is no documentation except for comments in the code (a Makefile). I was going to wait until things were a little better before announcing it on -hackers, but c'est la vie. :) Enjoy. -Lawrence Lansing RPI Class of 2003 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
