Almost one month after the last release we're happy to announce the second beta of BSDanywhere - enlightenment at your fingertips.
Though we have compiled a summarized as well as a detailed changelog I'd like to briefly describe the major changes of this exiting release:
Thanks to Marco Peereboom, and outstanding OpenBSD developer, undeadly's attention has been brought to our project. Thanks a lot!
We are happy that our efforts are welcomed by the OpenBSD community. We know that we can't make everybody happy with our live image, but it looks like it isn't seen as entirely useless as well ;)
Thanks also to Benoit, who provides a French mirror for us. An Austrian one is likely to come soon.
We've just put the first beta release of BSDanywhere online - enlightenment at your fingertips.
This time we had to learn how to populate the E17's bottom panel (the 'bar'), so users are able to launch applications with a click. The 'Applications' menu is still empty, however the 'Favourite Applications' menu is filled since alpha3, I believe.
We are proud to be able to release the third alpha of BSDanywhere, the OpenBSD Live CD at your fingertips.
Lot's of changes went into the configuration of timezone, keyboard layout and network during bootstrap. We have also changed the user's account name into 'live' and left all accounts without a default password. If you want to login via ssh you need to set a password first (OpenSSH sanely defaults to reject password-less accounts).
Alpha 2 has just been released. I focused primarily on the non-X stuff, so E17 is still not customized. Expect this for the next release. Apart from that, privoxy is not yet running and the firefox tor plugin is still missing. It won't get boring the next few days ;)
