MidnightBSD Live CD Description

A live version of the popular MidnightBSD operating system. MidnightBSD Live CD is a live version of the popular MidnightBSD operating system, that has an installer on it. This wouldn't necessarily be the only install option, but many people prefer this approach. It is very easy and you can test your hardware with the OS before installing.Creating Live CDsTo create a live CD, you need to do the following: 1. cd /usr/src; make buildworld 2. make buildkernel 3. cd nrelease 4. make realquickrel This will create a Live CD in /usr/release named mbsd.iso.To customize your Live CD, you will need to take additional steps. Steps 1-3 are the same as above. You may add or edit contents in /usr/src/nrelease/root . These files will be copied using cpdup into the staging area for the live cd.It's also possible to add packages. 1. (complete steps 1-3 above) make buildiso 2. mkdir /usr/release/root/usr/mports 3. cd /usr/release/root/usr; mount_nullfs /usr/mports mports 4. cd .. ; pkg_add -C . /usr/mports/Packages/i386/All/yourpackagename.tbz (if you built your own local package on this system) or pkg_add -C . -r kde3 (to install kde for instance from the ftp server). Do additional pkg_add commands for other packages you are interested in. 5. umount /usr/mports 6. cd /usr/src/nrelease; make buildiso2 7. make mkiso These directions are for 0.2-CURRENT.
