FreeNAS Users Rejoice!
Unetbootin[1] now supports FreeNAS! Take a look at these awesome little snippets of code:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | //distrolst.cpp if (nameDistro == "FreeNAS") { if (isarch64) { cpuarch = "amd64"; } else { cpuarch = "i386"; } instIndvfl("memdisk", QString("%1ubnkern").arg(targetPath)); if (islivecd) { downloadfile(QString("http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/lubi/FreeNAS-%1-LiveCD-%2.img.gz").arg(cpuarch, relname), QString("%1ubninit").arg(targetPath)); } else { downloadfile(QString("http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/stable/0.7/FreeNAS-%1-embedded-%2.img/download").arg(cpuarch, relname), QString("%1ubninit").arg(targetPath)); } } |
1 2 3 4 5 6 | //distrover.cpp distroselect->addItem("FreeNAS", (QStringList() << "0.7.4919" << unetbootin::tr("<b>Homepage:</b> <a href=\"http://freenas.org/\">http://www.freenas.org</a><br/>" "<b>Description:</b> FreeNAS is an embedded open source NAS (Network-Attached Storage) distribution based on FreeBSD.<br/>" "<b>Install Notes:</b> The LiveCD version creates a RAM drive for FreeNAS, and uses a FAT formatted floppy disk or USB key for saving the configuration file. The embedded version allows installation to hard disk.") << "0.7.4919" << "0.7.4919_x64" << "0.7.1.5024_Live" << "0.7.1.4997_Live_x64")); |
Segue:
I'm actually considering forking the unetbootin project to add support for a master distro list which can be updated remotely eliminating the requirement for users to download a new copy of the program if they wish to get the latest version of the list of pre-configured distros.
This has a little bit to do with the fact that I'll be required to take a few C++ courses at the University of Wyoming since Java is the standard language taught at the University of Arizona while I was there and I've never used C++ before. Can't be that hard right?
