A first preview version of desktopBSD 1.7 is available in official website. this snapshot version only support i386 machine. it doesn’t support am64 machine. A blog post of Official introduction says DesktopBSD based on the FreeBSD 7.0R (version 1.6 is base on the FreeBSd 6.3RC). and new version actiated some useful addons. But this blog post also warning there will be certainly some problems!

A iso image file has been hosted in ftp server. you can click link of “DesktopBSD Weekly Snapshots”section in this page. I am currently downloading this image file. After that, I will try snapshot and geting screenshot.

Other Desktop distribution PC-BSD (currently in version 1.5, also based in Freebsd 6.3) has no any plan about new version that based in new Freebsd7.

There are only CD ISO image in the FreeBSD official website. installation FreeBSD by 2 or 3 CD is inconvenient. we need replace CD one by one. so a DVD installation disc will save a lot of times and work.

The following Tools will be used in the work of creating DVD ISO image: WinRAR, CD ISO 1 to 3 of Freebsd(I use Freebsd6.3), UltraISO (winISO also can work in this project, but I like UltraISO) and emeditor(or any editor who support unix text format). Moreover if you want burn DVD-ROM, your need software of burning and DVD-RW driver and DVD-R or DVD-RW disc.
