A simple and hopefully usable FreeBSD live CD

I have, for longer than I can count, create my own livecds because the media
that's produced have a shortcoming for some reason or other.

Your CDs won't reach as many people as possible, I fear.  I fear because I
(for example) have no amd64 systems and just by the name of the snapshot cd
image i need to have to use your script, I won't be able to use the final
product.

FYI, an i386 OS can run on amd64 bit chips, with the same rules that apply.


However, the mfsroot/tmpfs hooks i'm interested to see, so I am looking over
your script.


I have a script that will build a i386 system from the ground up.  I keep
hacking it as my needs change.  I'll provide it if people would rather have
a "virgin" livecd based on the install cd sets or if it's better to have a
patched one.

Thanks for the email, i'll look at it.
