What's new in BSDanywhere 4.6
Nov 6, 2009
- Upgrade base system to OpenBSD 4.6 and packages accordingly. Please see the OpenBSD site for a list of changes since 4.5. OpenBSD 4.6 provides significant improvements, including new features, in nearly all areas of the system.
- Replace Enlightenment desktop (E17) with ICEwm, for which we use a slightly adjusted 'icedesert' theme including BSDanywhere wallpapers. It starts quicker, is easy to customize and very stable.
- Space we gained by swapping the window manager has been spent on adding the XMMS music player, the IRSSI chat client, the XFE file manager, the Mutt email client and the OpenNX client.
- ddb, the kernel debugger, may now be invoked from the console using CTRL-ALT-ESC.
- Last but not least we have great new artwork, provided graciously by Tim Saueressig!
New in BSDanywhere 4.5 (May 6, 2009)
- Upgrade base system to OpenBSD 4.5 and packages accordingly. Please see the OpenBSD site for a list of changes since 4.4. OpenBSD 4.5 provides significant improvements, including new features, in nearly all areas of the system.
- Contains official, standard, unmodified OpenBSD kernel. Previously, we had to ship a slightly modified version of the OpenBSD kernel to make the boot off CD media less cumbersome. Thanks to the OpenBSD developer Kenneth R. Westerback this has been improved in OpenBSD 4.5! That's why we can now ship the standard OpenBSD kernel with absolutely no modifications.
- Last but not least we have great new artwork, provided graciously by Tim Saueressig!
New in BSDanywhere 4.4 (Dec 9, 2008)
- We are pleased to announce the immediate availability of BSDanywhere 4.4 - Enlightenment at your fingertips. As always, we release our OpenBSD based images in two flavours: i386 (32bit) and amd64 (64bit). Here's a quick summary of the not-to-intense changes since 4.3: removed packages: GIMP, AbiWord, Audacious, Mutt, rsnapshot, Darkstat - we are really limited in space that's why we decided to concentrate on the primary focus of BSDanywhere, which is hardware testing and system rescue; added packages: Dnstop, dnstracer; we now enabled 'machdep.kbdreset' which permits console CTRL-ALT-DEL to do a nice halt; new artwork.
New in BSDanywhere 4.3 (Oct 16, 2008)
- After eight months of work we're now ready to release the final version of BSDanywhere 4.3 - Enlightenment at your fingertips, the OpenBSD live CD. There aren't many changes since beta 3: we have removed bsd.rd to motivate people getting pure OpenBSD; we added more packages - besides Galculator, which has been integrated into the E17 menu, we have now mboxgrep, nemesis, NewsFetch, Queso, radiusniff, ScanSSH, Smtpscan, ssldump, stress and Stunnel; while releasing 4.3, we're also making our official artwork publicly available.
