There is a livefs with the original ISO images: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/7.2/ I further found DesktopBSD but I didn't try that. I strongly recommend that you build yourself an USB stick. Here's what you need to do: http://typo.submonkey.net/articles/2006/4/13/installing-freebsd-on-usb-stick-episode-2 I went forth, chrooted into the stick and installed Vim, some diagnose/repair tools and an XFCE. I even managed to install Grub and let the user switch the boot process back to the hard disk. Further, I made a second partition named "transfer" formatted with FAT so that I can write some data from a Windows to it. I look enviously at the Grml project and I find it a great pity that there is no BSD equivalent. Bertram -- Bertram Scharpf Stuttgart, Deutschland/Germany http://www.bertram-scharpf.de
