FuguIta - OpenBSD-based Live System†
FuguIta 7.2, based on OpenBSD 7.2, was first released on October 31, 2022.
- On the arm64 platform, the framebuffer console is enabled in this release. And networking is no longer preconfigured.
In other words, the usage is the same as on i386 and amd64 platforms.
- Starting with this release, the noasks autostart configuration file, placed directly under the root of the partition, no longer works.
Only noasks files placed in release/architecture-specific directories are valid.
(e.g. for amd64: sd?d:/livecd-config/7.2/amd64/noasks)
- Improvements to dtjsetup
- If you choose to set up IceWM and Japanese environment, $HOME/.icewm/preferences file will be generated for Japanese font display.
- If fluxbox is selected, startfluxbox will be written as a start script in $HOME/.xsession.
Current Release
- Patch-004 of OpenBSD 7.2 has been applied.
