FuguIta - OpenBSD-based Live System†
Release Note:
Fuguita 7.1 uses MFS (Memory File System) instead of TMPFS (Temporary File System) as the file system in memory.
The changes are as follows
- In TMPFS, the file system capacity was automatically set when 0 was specified as the file system capacity at boot time, but MFS has no such function, so the file system capacity must be specified explicitly.
In addition, a unit symbol can be added after the numerical value to specify the file system capacity. The symbol K stands for kilobyte, M for megabyte, and G for gigabyte. If there is only a number without a suffix, it is assumed to be a megabyte.
You can also specify the value as a percentage of the RAM capacity by appending %, or as a percentage of the total RAM and swap file capacity by appending %% .
- In MFS, there is an upper limit to the amount of space that can be allocated for each architecture. The upper limit is approximately 1 gigabyte for i386, 30 gigabytes for amd64, and 15 gigabytes for arm64.
If the explicit capacity specification in the previous section exceeds these limits, the specified value will be suppressed to these limits.
- The use of the build tool has been greatly improved. If you are building with the standard configuration of FuguIta, you can run make several times to generate an ISO image.
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.
The LiveUSB version has the following features.
- 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.
