A new live CD for OpenBSD users, OliveBSD

Contributed by Nate on from the just-like-rabbits dept.

Following on the heels of the release last month of Anonym.OS, there is a new kid on the OpenBSD live CD block, OliveBSD. Put together by Gabriel Paderni, who made use of the article on ONLAMP by Kevin Lo.

I noticed this one while visiting Frank Denis's website.

    Nice to see people make use of the OS in different ways. Also a nice link to IceWM, a WM I haven't seen before, got to check it out :)

          Ratpoison's ok if all you run is xterm, but if you actually use apps then IceWM can't be beaten.

    Overloaded is my bet. I applaud the creation, just want to try it. I think I saw on SourceForge the statistics for Anonym.OS downloads shot way up when it first came out. (Statistics are down at the moment on Sourceforge) Something like 60-80 thousand per day early on. This speaks to the pent up demand for OpenBSD live cds, seems like a perfect moneymaking opportunity here, sell an official one for a few $ and make the project some money. While my preferred method is to buy CDs (office gets a handfull each release) it might add to the funding. OF couse, whatever the powers that be want is fine with me.

      Great idea. In fact, make an embedded one, with qemu.

    I've been meaning to create one of these for some time. I have some Sun Netra X1's (no cd-rom's) running OpenBSD, and I need a backup server to boot off of. Rather than maintain a PC just for boot images and install sets, I'd like to build a livecd with tftp and apache. I don't imagine it would be that difficult; it's just like a Cobalt RAQ install. Run crossover cable between pc and Netra; boot off cd; install; update network; reconnect to real network; restore from backup. I primarily want this for when someone else assumes maintenance of them.

    Anyone done anything similar? Installing sparc64 off network was a bit of a learning experience.....

      I have an old laptop sitting in the rack which is used only for net-boot and serial console.
