Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I am pleased to announce that new release of one-floppy FreeBSD (a.k.a PicoBSD) is now available for download. See http://www.freebsd.org/~picobsd/ for general idea what's this all about, and http://www.freebsd.org/~picobsd/picobsd/ for download. You can find detailed instructions and description in http://www.freebsd.org/~picobsd/picobsd/doc/intro.html What's new in this release? --------------------------- * All PicoBSD floppies now use DEVFS/SLICE code, which eliminates the need to manually create missing device nodes. * Each type of floppy contains the basic set of net utilities such as: ifconfig, route, netstat, ping, traceroute * There is new type of floppy (router) which is able to provide routing services with packet filtering on a 386SX equipped with only 4MB (!) of RAM * Included in PicoBSD Development Kit is a collection of small system utilities (TinyWare), which replace their full-blown counterparts giving you their basic functionality. This includes: netstat, ps, vmstat, sh, dset... * The TinyWare collection includes custom init(8) which allows for running truly minimal system, capable of single & multi-user operation. * The TinyWare collection includes also a console graphics viewer suitable for displaying graphical presentations (ideal for a demo-floppy). * Many, many, many things were updated (such as SSH and SNMPd) and/or fixed, thanks to the comments of FreeBSD community. Thank you - without your help this project would be much less mature... * The whole project now is under CVS, you can also get a copy of CVS repository. In short, I hope that you will enjoy this release of PicoBSD. Have fun! Andrzej Bialecki PS. PicoBSD is fully under BSD license which permits use in non-commercial as well as commercial applications. +---------------------+------------------------+--------------------------+ | | When in problem or in | if(halt_per_mth > 0) { | | Research & Academic | doubt, run in circles, | fetch("FreeBSD"); | | Network in Poland | scream and shout. | } | + --------------------+------------------------+--------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
