And yes, a LiveCD is essential for every free OS these days. You can use the FreeSBIE toolkit to create your own LiveCD btw, see http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/freesbie/

Nearly all projects based on FreeBSD with a LiveCD (RoFreeSBIE, DesktopBSD etc.) use this toolkit (except Frenzy for some reasons).

Congrats to the FreeSBIE team and thnaks for all their hard work, please keep on going strong!

Is it so hard to detect mouse these days automatically? Works fine on every other FreeBSD distribution- PC-BSD and DesktopBSD.

Did you login as root or use the standard autologin user? I don't know if this user is UID 0. To be sure, use su. Should not be a problem then.

% su -
...
# /stand/sysinstall

Otherwise, try the "old fashioned" method to test:

# moused -d -f -p /dev/cuaa0 -t auto

Use /dev/psm0 for a PS/2 mouse or /dev/ums0 for an USB mouse. Be sure to specify the correct mouse type (see man moused for a list). By the way, USB mice should be autodetected and automatically setup via usbd.

"Works fine on every other FreeBSD distribution- PC-BSD and DesktopBSD."

Really strange... diffed the /etc/rc.confs? Tue, 16 Jan 2007 19:16:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (Doc Pain) Comments
