which is fine _if_ the system is healthy enough to do it.
If it's unhealthy enough to be panicing, it may not be
healthy enough to be doing IPC operations.

Following on Ed´s simple and hopefully usable Fr eeBSD live CD ...

2010-09-04 Thread Gonzalo Nemmi
Would it be possible to have hybrid FreeBSD live CD/DVDs (as seen on 
Mandriva Linux)?


That is to say, would it be possible to have .iso images that could be 
just dumped on a USB stick and then boot from it to either run a liveFS 
or go stright for a disc1.iso or plain full dvd1.iso install?

I´ve tested mandriva´s liveCD (Mandriva ONE)from a USB stick and did two 
full installs (Mandriva Powerpack) using the same method and frankly: I 
found that having hybrid isos and a tool like Mandriva Seed (even as 
simple as it is ...) is incredibly handy ...
