Ready to use Image
Visit http://nomadbsd.org to download the recent image.
Requirements for Running NomadBSD
- A flash drive with a size of at least 5 GB.
- A (amd64/i386) system with a 1.2 GHz CPU and 1 GB of RAM (2 GB when using ZFS) should be able to run NomadBSD decently.
Building the Image
Requirements for Building the Image
- A recent FreeBSD system with approx. 30 GB free disk space.
- The build machine's major FreeBSD version must be greater or equal the base system's major version of the image you want to build.
- A recent ports tree.
- The packages x11-fonts/mkfontscale, and textproc/markdown must be installed.
Cloning the Repository
% git clone --recursive https://github.com/nomadbsd/NomadBSD.git
Building the Image
Preparation
If your copy of the NomadBSD repository is not owned by the root user, run
# git config --global --add safe.directory /full/path/to/NomadBSD
as root before the first build. Otherwise the build script can't correctly generate the image name.
Building
By default, the build script builds a 64-bit (amd64) image. For a 32-bit (i386)
image, or a Mac image set ARCH=i386 or ARCH=mac accordingly in build.cfg.
ARCH can also be defined via the -a option.
NomadBSD can be build with UFS (default), and ZFS as file system. The file
system can be defined via FILESYSTEM in build.cfg, or via the -f
option.
# ./build all
Resuming from Build Errors
If something went wrong, you can resume the build after locating and fixing the problem that caused the build to stop.
# ./build resume
Writing the image to a USB memory stick
# dd if=nomadbsd.img of=/dev/da0 bs=1M conv=sync
