Call For Testers: FreeSBIE 2.0.1-RC

All,
as you may have noticed, there was a serious bug in FreeSBIE 2.0-RELEASE: devd didn’t get started at boot due to a bug in the backup plugin and USB mice didn’t get any moused on their port.

I solved this and other bugs (see recent commits) and would like you to test a new image which will be released (when ready) as 2.0.1 . As you’re subscribed to this list, I think you’re interested in FreeSBIE, so I ask for your help. It is available only on BitTorrent: http://torrent.freesbie.org/FreeSBIE-2.0.1-RC.iso.torrent

Please test it and report any bug or issue you find.

Thanks in advance.

FreeSBIE-2.0-RELEASE Available!

All,

today is a good day, as we, the FreeSBIE team, reached our goal: it’s the day we release FreeSBIE 2.0.

Development cycle started on August 2006 and, after many months and a series of four ISO images, an official stable FreeSBIE image is available. It went under many changes, many experiments, many bugfixes, many features’ additions, but it was worth the work and the time we spent on it. We must express our thanks to everyone involved in the release process.
FreeSBIE 2.0-RELEASE (codename Clint Eastwood) is based on the fresh FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE, both in terms of sources and of packages. It contains more than 450 pieces and 1,3 gigabytes of software, all in a single CD-ROM of 668 megabytes.

The ISO image can be download from FreeSBIE official mirrors, a list of which is available at http://www.freesbie.org/mirrors.php

MD5 checksum for the ISO image is:

MD5 (FreeSBIE-2.0-RELEASE.iso) = bb98890aa8ce4fd9d35b5842baa34fdb
