18-02-2006 03:00:04 AM Welcome to this page,
this my first version of this LiveCD.
I hope it will be useful...

18-02-2006 12:16:46 PM Works very well. I'm using it to write this message. Its running on a PIII 1Ghz with 192mb RAM. Well done!

18-02-2006 10:30:22 PM cool stuff thanks :)
19-02-2006 09:47:06 PM You've been Undeadly-ed.
19-02-2006 10:21:43 PM Have you made a howto ?
I am asking because I wanted to add some pen-testing + performance tools ;-)
bwt. Cool work ;)
19-02-2006 10:56:53 PM http://www.footlabs.com/xpdf/ doesn't seem to have anything to do with Xpdf.
19-02-2006 11:01:01 PM It's a typo, the real URL is http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/.
footlabs.com is a rather funny combination :)
20-02-2006 04:40:49 AM You've been SoloBSD-ed for spanish readers :)
20-02-2006 07:06:11 AM testing testing testing.. hey I think it works! nice
20-02-2006 10:28:42 AM kew
20-02-2006 11:50:17 AM is it installable ??
I know that it´s a LiveCd but i´d be interested in installing it onto a HD.
20-02-2006 11:59:06 AM job well done! i'm also looking forward to an installable version...
20-02-2006 12:04:49 PM Very interesting. Seems to work well. Impressive!
If I would dare, I would ask you what were your motivations to do a lightweight workstation oriented live-cd based on openbsd?
I mean: why have you started, why openbsd, etc.
That's missing on your page!
20-02-2006 03:12:54 PM Can't seem to download it... I'm getting a HTTP error 404.
Why don't you put up a torrent to reduce the load on your web server?
Very interested to see OliveBSD!
20-02-2006 03:38:59 PM How can't download?
20-02-2006 03:57:35 PM The file has been renamed on network-hosting.com

20-02-2006 04:22:37 PM Very nice, will try my luck at installing OpenBSD to HDD with it.
20-02-2006 05:28:32 PM Links are not working for me it there an Alternative Download address?
20-02-2006 05:28:54 PM Very, very cool, I have been waiting for an ultra secure liveCD. I know that this is not aimed at being secure, but OpenBSD is. :-)
Thanks!!!
20-02-2006 05:44:26 PM I can not download it (server too busy?) please make a torrent
20-02-2006 05:52:53 PM yep a torrent would be nice.
20-02-2006 06:17:20 PM yes, we need a torrent, before this site gets slashdotted

20-02-2006 07:34:13 PM Hi,
I've noticed some news servers calling this LiveCD "Olive" instead of "OliveBSD". Since I am working on LiveCD which is, I'm afraid, called "Olive" ... could the "this is _OliveBSD_" be emphasized somewhere?
Thanks in advance
20-02-2006 07:37:40 PM Very interesting project... AFAIK there's only two OpenBSD livecds. Some torrent mirrors would be nice (for us and for the server) :).
Unfortunately, I haven't had time to try some ideas I have. I'll leave them here as suggestions:
- a small OliveBSD running only from memory (like Damn Small Linux and others...)
- a startup script from fd0, sda0, others... would be great (to build something like m0n0wall, Soekris already have that I think)
- instructions on how you did it would be great, hehe ;)
Congratulations. Keep up with the good work!
Pedro
20-02-2006 08:08:36 PM Why are people asking for an installer when the "regular" OpenBSD is so easy to install?
ALSO: This fellow is sharing his project with the world while letting you all chew up his expensive bandwidth for free!
Have a little respect.

I'm getting "not found on server". Plus the CD-Rchive site is nowhere to be found too.

21-02-2006 09:24:38 AM Why do YOU don't use a torrent... and all problems will be fixed... There is a big group of users, who wana download it, so an FTP server is not a good choice... Think about it. btw:
GOOD WORK!!!
it's evrytime nice, to hear about something new, that's based on OpenBSD :)
P.S. Sorry 4 my English ;)

22-02-2006 05:48:21 AM Is there an Install to HDD option or howto for this live CD?
Thanks,
Pittster
22-02-2006 08:57:47 AM A couple of questions from a newbie OPENBSD user for this live cd version:
1) How do you change the display from 1600 x 1280 to 1024 x 768?
2) How do you change the timezone and the time format from 24h to 12h?
3) How do you browse windows network shares?
Otherwise this livecd works great on an AMD DURON 1GHZ with 256MB Ram.
Thanks
22-02-2006 10:03:52 AM Hello again
I think something might be wrong with the
iso file. I have now burnt it on 2 different
cd-r's and ran it on 2 different computers
but it still gives the same error message:
mounting mfs
Warning : inode blocks/cyl group (184) >=
data blocks (64) in last cylinder group.
This implies 1024 sector(s) cannot be allocated.
This warning is repeated 4 times before it
continues loading from the livecd.
Any idea what this means and how to fix it?
P.S. - Second computer is a P4 2GHz with 512 MB Ram
Thanks
22-02-2006 11:27:50 AM great live cd.
i try it on 2 dell laptop
a dell latitude d505, it's rocks fine,
but on my latitude d610 it's stop on a X freeze.
somebody have same problem?
I know there is a bug with dell bios and X, fix it on linux with a tiny soft 915resolution
may be with some boot params ...?

my video card is an i915 intel on a pentium M 1.7Ghz

22-02-2006 12:17:37 PM Thank you for the mirrors and of course for the OLIVE.
22-02-2006 02:10:05 PM How do I make a hdd install?
22-02-2006 02:17:44 PM Runs good on my Dell pIII 450mhz with 192m ram. Nice work. Used "xrandr -s 800x600"
to get my desired screen resolution. Thanks for the hard work!

Bien joué !
22-02-2006 05:07:36 PM Il y en a plein...
Super boulot :)
22-02-2006 07:19:51 PM I have a sugestion to make, why not make OLIVE-BSD that gives the power and security of OPENBSD with the same kind of aproach that PC-BSD or DESKTOP-BSD has given to FreeBSD or even the recent project OFFICE-BSD to NETBSD?
I would like, in my humble opinion, to have some kind of distribution based on OpenBSD that were desktop and security oriented with graphical and easy to install on my disk.. think about it.. ;)
22-02-2006 07:27:33 PM Great job !
THX
22-02-2006 09:51:22 PM Extremely cool. Thank you.
22-02-2006 11:16:44 PM Doesn't work for me. Starts booting up ok but then panics and says it could not mount root. That's as far as it goes. :(
22-02-2006 11:50:49 PM Will try a BSD wihtout installing anything, see how it works, how it's made ...
Install is after test ...
BSD Live ... Shure it will be a good stuff :)
23-02-2006 09:10:13 AM Looks great, I'm going to try it too.
Thanks a very lot!
23-02-2006 09:47:10 AM bonjour,
Suis je seulement le deuxieme avec qui OliveBSD ne marche pas?
il me retourne l'erreur suivante:
kernel panic, cannot read disk label, 0x600/0xf00,error 5
Le fait que mon disque soit en NTFS avec windows dessus y est pour quelquechose?
Merci et bon boulot ;=)
23-02-2006 10:12:18 AM will try it in few hours...quite exiting stuff...
23-02-2006 11:09:54 AM interesting live cd.
on the other hand you desperatley need a forum and maybe some mailing lists.
with that, the new "olivebsd community" can help each other with hardware problems and whatsoever.. ;)
23-02-2006 02:58:47 PM OliveBSD seems to work on an old Dell laptop, a bit sluggish, of course. Nice work, thanks.
23-02-2006 05:51:55 PM Hello from Japan.
I'm interesting in implementation techniques of this LiveCD,
especially method of building root FS, how to make users's
file writable, etc...
Because I have built another LiveCD system.
And now I'm distributing it on my site.

25-02-2006 08:04:47 PM The reason many are asking about an install-to-hard drive option is because OpenBSD is not always practical to install to a desktop system. If one has a broadband connection, have at it. Download OpenBSD and install every package you want on it, including KDE, Gnome, etc. However, those stuck with dialup are left out in the cold. Even the official distro only includes about half the KDE files needed for complete install, leaving lots of slow ftp downloads remaining. Heck, the next version comes out in 6 months. Can I get this done before that, and do I really want to spend hours dl'ing these packages all over again at this speed?? What we need is an OpenBSD distro with a desktop like KDE and other app's included in it. This OliveBSD comes close to that. Therefore, I will ask the same as the others: Is there a routine to install this distro to HD, please?? Thanks.
26-02-2006 02:38:35 PM Warning: inode blocks/cyl group (inumber) >= data blocks (dnumber) in last cylinder group. This implies snumber sector(s) cannot be allocated
This message requires no user action. It indicates that inumber of
file system blocks were needed to allocate the inode table but only
dnumber of file system blocks were available in the last cylinder
group. The last cylinder group could not be allocated and snumber of
sectors are actually wasted.
27-02-2006 03:13:04 AM I've been trying to follow along with these OpenBSD livecd tutorials and I've managed to get a system that boots in Qemu. But why do I keep getting 'operation not permitted' errors caused by mount_mfs commands in the /etc/rc script? If I can't get mount_mfs to work then my livecd is effectively useless.
