Hi, yesterday I tested the images listed in the subject and have the following remarks: - At least the memstick image contains an empty fstab - Does the usage of a "dangerously dedikated disklabel" give any advantage? - The usage of an UFS-Label for root mounting should be more flexible - The first dialog step should set the keyboard layout - The /etc is not writable which would greatly reduce the usefulness for the ISO image (no modified resolv.conf, sshd_config, ...) The usage of a nanobsd based base-installation would give a sufficient advanced Live-OS installation. You could take a look into src/tools/tools/nanobsd/rescue where I tried to address most of the issues above primary for rescuing GPT/ZFS installations (with still hardcoded keyboard though). With two nanobsd slices on one memstick you can actually produce combined i386/and64 Live-OS memsticks... I get both on a 2GiB memstick (Without packages). What do you think?
