Matteo’s Wasps’ Nest

All,
after the success of FreeSBIE GMV, today I release a new ISO
image: FreeSBIE LVC. This is the second of a series of four ISO
images: GMV, LVC, EW, and CE, with CE being hopefully FreeSBIE 2.0. As
said, LVC goes public today, while EW is planned for the end of
October and CE for the middle of November. This means that FreeSBIE LVC
*can* be considered FreeSBIE 2.0 PREBETA (while GMV could not).

The codename for this image is LVC, which stands for “Lee Van Cleef”,
who played in “A few dollars more” and “The good, the bad and the
ugly”. Complete information about this actor at
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001812/ .

Similarly to GMV, LVC is based on the HEAD branch of FreeBSD, so on
FreeBSD 7-CURRENT and, to be precise, as it was on
2006.10.10.12.00.00. Ports are approximately from the same date. EW
and CE, on the other hand, will be based on the RELENG_6_2 branch,
both for sources and for ports.

After having released GMV, I received lots of feedback and
suggestions. I would like to thank everybody for their support:
having fun and feeling appreciated is what make me going on with this
work. All the suggestions had been included in LVC, but this does not
mean that LVC is perfect. Remember, is “PREBETA”. I say it once
again: please, test LVC and send me feedback, bug reports,
suggestions, insults, whatever. Please specify [FreeSBIE LVC] in the
subject of the mail.

Additional software and fixes are not the only news in FreeSBIE LVC.
FreeSBIE now has *cheatcodes*!
What are cheatcodes? They are a way to specify FreeSBIE options such
as language, windowmanager, ramdisks’sizes, etc, at boot time. When
you’ll boot FreeSBIE, you’ll see a new menu. Follow the instructions
and you’ll see what cheatcodes are about. =)
More cheatcodes will be added in EW and in CE.
