>Description:
This is a new version of LiveCD script, now you can build your
FreeBSD LiveCD without needing to execute buildworld/installworld, being
able to generate the CD from FreeBSD install disk 1. The routine of
installation of packages to customize your CD now makes use of
sysinstall. Now your personalized LiveCD will lead less than 20 minutes
to be ready.

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.
