The Frenzy distro is still quite usable albeit it was abandoned. ;) Also you can find official FreeBSD liveCD iso here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i.386/ISO-IMAGES/7.2/7.2-RELEASE-i386-livefs.iso (change arch type according to you platform). -- Best regards, Jeff | "Nobody wants to say how this works. | | Maybe nobody knows ..." | | Xorg.conf(5) |
