NomadBSD 140R-20240126 Released and Available To Download

 

NomadBSD is a persistent live system for USB flash drives, based on FreeBSD®. Together with automatic hardware detection and setup, it is configured to be used as a desktop system that works out of the box, but can also be used for data recovery, for educational purposes, or to test FreeBSD®'s hardware compatibility.

Requirements

The images for 64-bit and 32-bit computers fit on a >=5GB USB flash drive. A system with a 1.2GHz CPU and 1G of RAM (2G for the ZFS version) should be able to run NomadBSD decently. Booting is possible via BIOS and UEFI.

Architecture

For AMD and Intel 64-bit systems, use the amd64 image.

For AMD and Intel 32-bit systems, use the i386 image.

Writing the image to a USB memory stick

The size of the uncompressed image is 4.7GiB, so the capacity of your flashdrive should be 5GB at the minimum.
