My company built a tool a few years back for creating a bootable cdrom based on a running host FreeBSD 3/4 system, which promptly got shelved and forgotten.I recently had to update it for FreeBSD 5 and thought that perhaps the community at large could make use it before it gets forgotten again. The system is named 'shimmer', and basically all you need to do is type 'make shimmer' and it will create a bootable cd with everything you need to have a useless system that runs from single cdrom (usefulness is left as an exercise for the user). We are not at all interested in competing with groups like FreeSBIE, but are willing to support and help enhance some of the basic utilities and structure etc. if anybody is interested in using this stuff. http://www.issci.ca/chad/shimmer.tgz Comments and questions are welcome. -- Chad David
