``NetBSD Live!'' Boots Directly Into KDE2

Posted by timothy on from the portable-demo dept.

jschauma writes: "A ``NetBSD Live!'' CD, which boots NetBSD/i386 1.5.2 directly from CDROM into KDE, including Koffice, has been made available. This exciting development may be the first step towards 'fancy' graphical installation CDs. Just grab one and carry it around with you, so you never have to boot any other OS! See the announcement on the NetBSD News page, more details are here."

    Yes, it's only on German. That's why the README states:

    This NetBSD system uses German keyboard mapping for console and X. You can change this by typing wsconsctl -w encoding=<language>
    Also, the scripts to create the CD are included, so you can re-create it with whatever language settings you prefer.
