Mini FreeBSD as a thin client

[ccc]

Hi

I'm looking for a mini FreeBSD to use it as a thin client. I'd like to install it on a bootable USB, that I can customize and take everywhere.

Install just kernel/base/man pages sets then add needed software, just install it on USB stick. as simple as that.

Thx, but howto install freeBSD on USB stick and make it bootable?

The same way as on harddisk.

Same as if you were installing it on a hard drive, which is how a USB stick appears. Add

kern.cam.boot_delay=10000

to /boot/loader.conf.

You might also like sysutils/freesbie.

Please, mount /var and /tmp into memory. Also you can try to use nanobsd.
I think you need to use special projects such as thinstation. You can use FreeBSD system as a terminal server.
