What's this?†

FuguIta is the Live CD which was built from OpenBSD, featuring;

Similar to HDD installation: This Live CD was intended to be similar to HDD installation as much as possible.
After CD booting, you can login to the environment like the one which was just installed on HDD.
In this environment, many ordinary files have replaced to symbolic links.
Portable workplace: You can save your own environment into Floppy Disk and/or USB flash. Then you will be able to retrieve it at next boot time.
Low hardware requirements: Unless you will use X, this LiveCD requires 22MB of memory to run.
Additional Softwares: Some softwares were added from ports or building from other source packages. See following software list.
Useful for Japanese users: Kernel and Time Zone are set to JST. And some softwares are configured to use Japanese.

Note: FuguIta () stands for "Blowfish Disk" in Japanese. Fugu means blowfish, and Ita means something flat such as a plate, a disk or a board etc...
Some Japanese might associate those who cook when hearing Ita. For them, so FuguIta also means a "Blowfish Cook".
