FuguIta - OpenBSD-based Live System†
Releases†
Release 7.6†
FuguIta 7.6, based on OpenBSD 7.6, was released on October 21, 2024.
- Until release 7.5, rsync, rlwrap, pv and their dependencies were installed from ports/packages to run fuguita-specific utilities.
In fuguita 7.6, these are built independently and installed under /usr/fuguita/bin.
Therefore, immediately after startup, under /usr/local is in the same state as bare OpenBSD.
This change causes incompatibility with 7.5 and earlier. Please be careful if you are migrating from a previous environment.
- OpenBSD 7.6 patch-001 has already been applied.
Note: We have received a report that when FuguIta-7.6-amd64 is booted on a specific CPU, the boot does not complete. We are currently investigating the cause.

- raw disk image files for other devices (USB, SD, HDD, SSD...etc)
Features†
Easy to use
- Bootable from DVD or USB memory stick, no need to install to PC's internal storage.
- Operates almost like a normally installed OpenBSD, and the built-in online manual can be used as it is.

Tracking patches of OpenBSD
- We publish new release of FuguIta as soon as the OpenBSD development group announces new errata (security fixes and reliability enhancements).
- FuguIta itself is also modified and added functions as needed.
Flexible Operation
- Three boot modes can be selected according to the performance of the hardware.
- Mode 0: FuguIta's standard startup mode
- Mode 1: Short boot time and memory-saving operation*1
- Mode 2: Transfers the entire system to memory for faster operation.
- Multiple FuguIta devices can be attached to accommodate irregular hardware configurations.

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.
- Trivia
- "FuguSashi" is an unofficial nickname for the LiveUSB version of FuguIta.
"Sashi" is a Japanese word meaning "to insert" or "to stick", but it is also an abbreviation for "sashimi".
Most Japanese people will associate "FuguSashi" with sashimi of fugu.
