FreeSBIE halted?

I read no news about FreeSBIE since early 2007. Has its development been 
stopped?

FreeBSD is evolving at a fast pace.

login: no pam_unix.so found

hi all
  I made a FreeSBIE 2.0 iso from freebsd ports, the system is 7.0 and
ports is current.
  I use nearly the MINIMAL config with NO_PAM, NO_KLDLOAD and
NO_MODULES commented.
  Also, I use my minimal kernel which can boot my box.
  Now, the iso can boot with cd9660, geom_label, geom_uzip, geom_md
added manually during loader time.
  However, I cannot login, and it shows an error with "login: in
openpam_load_module(): no pam_unix.so found".

  I've checked the uzip/usr.uzip and found lots of pam_xxx.so
including pam_unix.so in lib.
  Then I build a iso with NO_COMPRESSEDFS but still in vain.

  Do I miss anything ?

savebackup and restoredata

I am new to FreeSBIE and want to make sure I understand savebackup and restoredata before I move further into the OS's use. I am significantly understanding of FreeBSD. I am using FreeSBIE latest release.

I created the file /etc/backup.lst and in that file listed /usr/local/ as the directory I wanted to backup.

I then mounted a cruzer micro USB flash drive successfully using (and can read/write):

mount -t msdos /dev/da0s1 /mnt/dos.1

I then ran: 'savebackup da0s1' and got the following error:

"Can't open the input file /mnt/FreeSBIE/freesbie.2008.0127.0158.tar : No such file or directory
Done
umount : /mnt : Not a file system root directory"

Freesbie on USB stick + qemu

Good day all,

Just recently I discovered a new (for me) way of using
Freesbie and I wanted to share it with you. A few
months ago the motherboard on my FreeBSD machine gave
up, and I had no way of running Unix anymore (aside
from my ancient Toshiba that runs OpenBSD). I’ve
always liked Freesbie, but using it as a LiveCD and
rebooting between it and XP is daunting. 

Googling for “linux usb” brought me to this site
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ . I tried most of the
Linux distros they have on that site, however for some
reason or another I was not satisfied, either it
didn’t have gcc (damn small) or couldn’t connect to
the internet (ubuntu). Then I remembered Freesbie and
decided to give it a try, running it from a usb stick
using Qemu. I followed the instructions for Ubuntu
http://www.pendrivelinux.com/2008/01/11/run-ubuntu-710-from-windows/
And the only thing that I had to do was to replace the
Ubuntu ISO image with the one of Freesbie. It feels
pretty snappy with Kqemu acceleration driver
installed. I can even store stuff on the stick; after
running the mountdisks script, an ext2fs partition is
mounted and I was able to save files on it and they
were there the next time I started Freesbie. I am able
to connect to the network. The only issue that I have
is when running X (startx), the window is tiny (800 X
600 pixels I believe), but it’s not a big deal.

Hope someone finds it interesting,
Michael

Log Message:

Remove /tmp from UNIONDIRS: we will use TMPFS for /tmp from now on.
I think it is stable enough for our use. tmpfs will be mounted from
rc.d/unionfs. 

Add to unionfs a commented out entry ready to use once it will be
possible to use tmpfs as unionfs upper layer.

xconfig plugin update for Xorg 7

Hi,

First of all, Happy new year 2008!

Since the import of xorg 7 in FreeBSD ports tree xconfig plugin does
not work because getconfig is gone.
After some research, I found a way to discover the right driver for
VGA card with Xorg -probeonly.

This is just a proof of concept, the patch is available at
http://djdomics.free.fr/FreeBSD/freesbie2/patches/xconfig.sh.diff

Comments are very welcome!

Regards
