Hey all,
I have just completed the an 8.1-RELEASE-p1 based build of the 'Custom releases' project hosted here:
http://freebsd-custom.wikidot.com
At the moment only the 64bit version is available, while a 32bit version is in the works and is expected later on this week.
You may download the ISO file immediately using the downloads page:
http://freebsd-custom.wikidot.com/downloads-page
This release is based on the latest XFCE desktop and includes a wide variety of desktop-related packages, like OpenOffice, abiword, gnumeric, firefox35, gimp, inkscape, evince and so on. The base system is 8.1-RELEASE-p1. A few other small window managers are included like windowmaker and fluxbox. Please note that editors/zim and x11-wm/icewm are not included due to build problems.
Make sure to read the README file before installation.
Also note that installing linux related packages during initial setup needs a few more steps. This is due to differences in sysinstall between 7.X and 8.X releases. A detailed explanation is provided in the README file.
As always, please report any problems, success stories, comments and criticisms to manolis@FreeBSD.org
