X Terminal Server

Are there any scripts in the new FreeSBIE that allow the creation of a X 
Terminal Server for PXE-Boot Diskless Terminals to boot from?

If not, are there plans to?

Has anyone created a livecd from FreeSBIE with such features setup?

Project using Freesbie

Hello, just for information, I have started a project in my university
"Bureau portable", based on Freesbie2 and FreeBSD6.1. The goal is to
give an iso containing all the software usefull for the students.

http://libre.uvsq.fr/index.php/projet-bureau-portable/
(in french only)

It works actually pretty good. Actually the user has to login with
"root" in order to lauch xfce4. Is it possible to lauch it directly,
without using a login ?

You can use this example of using gdm and pam to autologin a specific user
http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/faq2.html#q23

If there is an another way to autologin a user without using gdm I'm
interested !

Geeky way:

Open /etc/gettytab and add the following rows at the bottom:

freesbie:\

A SoC student this year will make a PXE Boot Installer. The server side
shouldn't be different from what you're looking for. I talked with him
on IRC, and convinced him to port everything on the FreeSBIE toolkit as
a plugin instead of hacking a FreeSBIE live cdrom:

This has been always something that I have plan to do, but I've no time
to do it :/

Very interesting. I'm interested in making a list of projects using
FreeSBIE toolkit and publish it on our website.

Folks, if you have a public project based on freesbie 1 or 2 toolkit
please reply to this email.

Bye and thanks,
Dario

I have tried to put /usr/X11R6/bin/startxfce4 directly in the
/etc/ttys, but it fail
with a PATH problem, I have not tried to investigate, but it seem to be the
standard way to do it.

[gkx]dm are useless for a live CD.

How to install pkg which need answer

Hello, I still continue to select package for my local Freesbie distribution.
I have tried to add diablo-1.5.0-b00 but the package need to answer
"yes" to the licence question, and the pkginstall.sh fail with an
infinite loop.

Is there a turnaround ? I have tried to modify the pkginstall.sh using
the "yes" command without success.

Or is there a way to add package diffently during the process ?

Set the PACKAGE_BUILDING environment variable to something. I'm going to
include it in the pkginstall.sh script.
