FuguIta - OpenBSD-based Live System†
FuguIta 7.3, based on OpenBSD 7.3, was first released on April 22, 2023.
Current Release
- FuguIta-7.3-*-202309161
- In the previous release, the conditions for not stopping the daemon with fiupdate were insufficient, so we fixed it.
- Fixed a bug where the system would not boot if usbfadm expand was executed when another partition was created after the OpenBSD partition in MBR or GPT.
In this case, instead of running usbfadm expand, run usbfadm newdrive for another unused device.

What does the name "FuguIta" mean?†
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.
