LiveCD Multimedia image with OpenBSD - carry your multimedia apps on a


What is LiveCD-Multimedia?

It is much easier to use a readymade LiveCD that can give you quick access to the audio/video playback programs you use with OpenBSD. You have tools like SoX, mplayer,ffmpeg and more.

The LiveCD is XFCE on the desktop and not Gnome. Only when you install to hard disk using our

	# installtodisk

program you get Gnome on the desktop. Moreover once you install to the disk you can get the full space on the hard drive/USB stick unlike the restrictive optical media.
