LiveCD image with OpenBSD - carry your OS on a DVD/CD


What is LiveCD-OpenBSD?

It is trivial to a create a bootable USB stick with OpenBSD. I wanted to create one and realized that this will be of general use for anyone who likes a UNIX USB memory stick that they can carry with them on a keychain. This is the LiveCD/LiveDVD created using the LiveUSB images as base. This is the sister project of LiveUSB-OpenBSD.

These CD/DVD image shall not touch your hard disk in any way. All the operations are done in the USB stick and main memory. Nothing will be written to your MBR or boot loaders!

To install the LiveUSB image to hard disk, please type the command

	# installtodisk
as root and you can install the LiveCD/LiveDVD image to a hard drive!

  1. Absolute Minimal version with X but without a single package, just the base distributions.
  2. Minimal version without X
  3. MiniX version with X
  4. Full version

Please make your choice, download and enjoy!

LiveCD-OpenBSD-Micromini for 2GB

This is the version for minimalists. It still is way too powerful! There is ONE package for uncompressing the installer p7zip. You can install whichever package you need. OpenBSD base install comes with a fully functional DNS server, HTTP server, web browser, command line download with ftp(1) for HTTP and FTP with resume support and so on...

You can login as user live and password live123 The root password is openbsd1729.
