Has anyone tried out the FreeBSD 10th Anniversary Live Bootable CD given out last night at the FreeBSD 10th Anniversary party in San Francisco? I was hoping it would make a convenient emergency fixit CD and be a good FreeBSD advocacy tool. I gave it a spin this morning. It spit out disconcerting warning and error messages while booting, required some manual configuration during bootstrap, was missing a lot of programs needed for system repairs (e.g. boot0cfg), required some fudging to fsck a ufs file system and pasting into an xterm using the middle mouse button didn't work. Worse, the CD is too small to use as a coaster. Has anyone had a better experience? (Note: I don't intend this as a serious complaint. After all, it was a freebie. However, I was somewhat disappointed.) Dan Strick strick@covad.com
