Actually is a graphical Installation project for OpenBSD.Wow this is kewl.Normally OpenBSD installation would be in text based.But now we can setup OpenBSD installation thru graphical interface.Making it easy for user to install OpenBSD.Hmm I haven't try it tho.I've heard it is complicated when comes to partitioning.Must know the concept.



G.O.B.I.E Project
Http://gobie.net

The main goal of the GOBIE is to add a graphical installation of the famous OS OpenBSD. This project has been developed in the spirit of OpenBSD which means that the installation is as close as possible as the text one.

GOBIE wishes to add some value to the product by developping installation modules to known servers such as Bind, Sendmail, Inn, Apache...

The team is composed of 2 students from the French science computer school known as {Epitech}.
The GOBIE projects is develloped using C and GTK. It uses the XFree86 Server version 4.2.0. We are recoding most of the tools, like xinit, disklable and fdisk.

The XServer is loaded into a RamDisk and uses a generic configuration file offering a screen area of 800x600 8bits.

The first release will be available for downloading in the meantime of July and should be a bootable ISO.
