FuguIta - OpenBSD-based Live System†
FuguIta 7.0 was first released on 1st, Nov, 2021. This is based on OpenBSD 7.0.
- FuguIta-7.0-*-202112291
- Distribution image changes
The disk partitioning of the distribution images for the i386 and amd64 platforms has been changed from Hybrid MBR to traditional MBR.
This distribution image contains an EFI Sys partition, so it can be booted from either Legacy BIOS or UEFI as before.
Furthermore, once a Hybrid MBR has been created, it has been very difficult to change its contents, but from this release it is now possible to make changes to the partition using OpenBSD's fdisk and disklabel tools.
- usbfadm feature additions
- On the amd64 platform, when executing the newdrive subcommand, it is possible to create media that can be booted from either the Legacy BIOS or UEFI by selecting UEFI as the boot method and MBR as the partitioning method.
In this case, the Legacy BIOS bootloader will be installed at the same time.
- A new expand sub-command has been added.
This allows you to expand the data storage partition to the maximum possible capacity.
There are two ways to expand a partition: growfs, which preserves the data in the partition, and newfs, which formats a new partition. Naturally, all existing data will be lost if you use newfs. However, newfs will create a file system with parameters appropriate to the size of the expansion.
What is FuguIta?†
FuguIta is an OpenBSD-based Live System.
- supported platforms
- i386 - the Intel i386 architecture and compatible processors
- amd64 - AMD64-based systems
- arm64 - 64-bit ARM systems (preconfigured for Raspberry Pi 3)
- providing
- ISO image files for LiveDVD
- disk image files for other Live devices (USB, SD, HDD, SSD...etc)
Features†
- Close to a normal OpenBSD installation
FuguIta is designed to be as similar as possible to a normal OpenBSD installation, so you can log in and configure your system in the usual way, and most of the OpenBSD documentation is still available.
You can also add software using OpenBSD's ports/packages system.
- Updater for easy and safe updating LiveUSB
- Flexible Operation
- Various boot modes according to HW specifications
For example, it can complete booting with only 70MB of memory. (i386, mode 1, no X)
- Tracking errata
In addition to the semi-annual releases, we also create and release support for OpenBSD errata (security fixes and feature enhancements) that occur in between.
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 "Blowfish Cook" as double meaning.
The introduction video of FuguIta (with auto-translated subtitles) is available on YouTube.
