USB stick install ?

Would you have a method to use a USB stick instead of a cd to run FreeSBIE?

I could’nt find neither the question nor the answer anywhere else :-)

Hard Disk Install

In your FAQ at https://damnsmallbsd.org/FreeSBIE/faq the question is asked and answered;

FreeBSD problem reports and developer notes indicates that malloc-backed md devices shouldn’t be used, while FreeSBIE uses these kind of MFS devices for var, etc, and whatever. Shouldn’t it move to swap-backed ones as even mdconfig(8) suggests?

I have a USB mouse running through a KVM switch and am using Fressbie 2.0.1 but still can not get the mouse to work.

I have tried the 2.0 fix of sudo /etc/rc.d/devd start. Is there anything else I could do to run Freesbie?, Thanks dsquared I have a similar problem but without the KVM. Any suggestion?

Is there any plan for a 64bit version of Freesbie in the future?

Does anyone have freesbie booting from a memory card in a card reader attached to a USB port?

How can i translate http://www.freesbie.org/ site to norwegian?

Due to difficults in mantaining different languages we decided to stop having different official translation. Anyway, documentation and unofficial translation are welcome, and you can publish them on this wiki.

How to mount USB stick

1- Make sure you have a mount point (/mnt/dos.1 is one of several on the v2.01 config that will do) 2- Probably have to be root (su) 3- mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt/dos.1

How do I contact the Administator on http://www.freesbie.org/?

You can contact us by email: webmaster[AT]freesbie[DOT]org

Could be mtr (My Traceroute) added to Freesbie in the next edition?

Where is the backup to usb flash script? How do we use it?

See Section 2.4 on the following page: https://damnsmallbsd.org/FreeSBIE/manual

Making a customised iso

How can I make a customized version of the FreeSBIE 2.0 CD (or its ISO image) using tools like mdconfig, mount, mkisofs, .... without having the problem that inode numbers from the CD/ISO image are useless and results in heavy duplication of data that was probably once stored using a single inode (or set of CD blocks) (for example the /rescue directory will grow to more than 400 MB instead of probably being less than 10 MB)?

Autostart database with sshd

Is there any good solution, that makes use of a modified FreeSBIE to start a configured user/password database in combination with a configured and autostarting sshd to make it possible to take control of a i386 based computer (maybe a rack mounted one) without connecting keyboard and/or video display directly to it? In that case, hopefully, most tools and libraries needed to make a disk bottable, partitioned and filled with content from remote tar archives or similar to bring a cloned system up is already there, I guess !?

Thanks! harley z.hans.d@home.se

Makefile problem

When running make iso or make pkgselect (according to freesbie2#usage) I get an error: Makefile:18: *** missing separator. Stop.
