;-)

Do not forget, after booting from the iso and transfered the system to a 
writable-device, to add programs+dependencies of the disto.
This can be done with "Menu" -> "Install program" -> "Install all". All this is 
included in the disto.

All those programs + libraries are not installed on the live-cd, this to make 
the boot of the iso faster and to use less ressource.

But once the system is transfered to a writable device, all those 
programs+dependencies may be installed and the boot will not be slower.

Awesome, I have to give that a try. I normally prefer to keep my
development VM's, data and code on my 4-disk ZFS Raid-Z2, but having a
USB stick as yet another backup would be very useful.

Oh wow, no I haven't tried that. Where do I find that menu entry? As you
might have guessed, I haven't actually tried out polYdev yet (been quite
busy with work) - so if my answer is obvious, then ignore me for now. :)

Thanks Graeme for your attention.

You are the only one and it really helps me to find courage for that difficult 
work, without help or answer at questions from FreeBSD forum.


> and I'll definitely be using that distro i future client development VM's.


Did you try, in menu ==> "Transfer to device" to transfer the installed system 
to a usb stick ?

It allows you to have a bootable-installed system on your usb stick,  working 
out-of-the-box.

OSX was based on a old FreeBSD base system. I think around FreeBSD 4.3,
and FreeBSD is now at 10.3.

OSX only used the base operating system that FreeBSD supplied. The whole
GUI layer is proprietary work by Apple. The Application Bundles (a
directory acting as an application), many of the OS services are also
all specific to Apple. So as it currently stands, there isn't much
compatibility between OSX and FreeBSD any more. Apple also forces you to
use Apple hardware and software to create Apple applications. So you
require XCode etc. Again, not something that is possible to be installed
on any non-OSX system.

  Graeme

So maybe you could comment on a question that cam in my mind:

AFAIK, Mac OS is based on BSD, so APIs should not be to different from 
FreeBSD.

Why then does this distribution  allow for Linux and Windows executables 
(needing much more different APIs) but not for Mac OS executables ?

I already commented in the fpgui.support newsgroup, where it was
announced too. So I didn't see the point in commenting here again. ;-)

Fred did excellent work, and I'll definitely be using that distro in
future client development VM's. As I'm a FreeBSD user for some years,
I'm also very happy Fred used FreeBSD as the base for his distro.
