LiveCD builder for FuryBSD

Last updated 10/31/2020

Thank you for your interest in FuryBSD. This project has been discontinued. Plans to publish Q4 2020 images have been cancelled.

On 10/30/2020 the telegram channel was comprimised which accelerated the decision to terminate these resources sooner. Protecting the forums even with the assistance of volenteers from spam has been an uphill battle over the last year. Those volenteers have moved on from the project. Simiarly the original volenteer who helped create and maintain wordpress has moved on from the project. This added overhead, and decrease in volenteers is the primary reason for the decision.

If you have installed using the live media you can continue updating and upgrading FreeBSD, and there is no need for a migration of your installed system.

If you enjoyed using the LiveCD please see projects which succeed it such as GhostBSD.
