Flashdist is an embedded OpenBSD installer for
flash disks, hard disks,
and pseudo disks. It keeps the entire system
mounted read-only during
normal operation for minimal chance of failure. It
installs an entire
set of system utilities and manual pages (targeted
towards networking
features) in less than 32MB of disk or flash
space. The distribution
list can be customized to target other
applications, or to use even less
space.
License: BSD License (revised)
Changes:
Flashdist now installs necessary tools for future system upgrades, including ftp (for FTP/HTTP get capability) and various shell tools. Installed systems are marked with a version number for upgrade reference. Manual pages are compressed to meet the 32MB flash target. growimg.sh no longer relies on growfs (now it works in virtually any situation, and will even shrink an image)
