I believe it's to be shipped with the FreeSBIE 1.1 release. It used to be on www.livebsd.com, but I think Scott (Ullrich) removed it (or I may be wrong). You can obviously check out its functionality for DragonFly BSD (the interface when installing FreeSBIE is the same). The FreeSBIE project is at http://www.freesbie.org Have fun! :) Devon H. O'Dell
