Re: Live stick / cd from official sources

Thanks for this one, Bodie.

In my little, simple prospective from year 2023 there is the hope that we are going to overcome soon
all these sayings we are telling us about *nix. They are correct but we can't neither leave it to the word
of mouth or to the industry reception..

I think we could turn to be positive and serve to the consumers of OpenBSD this live image..

Then I can't guess ie. if becuase this "industry reception" other interests exist....
I neither want to know it.

And however, my opinion, we should respect also those small shops that turn to be so business
oriented while downsizing a reality like the OpenBSD one they care about to supply you
a cheap and running system, to make you happy.

Obviously it is my own interest too that an hardware shop cares about my own stuff but try to be honest
with yourself.. is it so ridiculous to ask a system test to boot in graphical mode in
2.5 min to care about it?

Anyway now let me go Off Topiiic - for they joy of those tirans who read me - to describe you
more how this business from Germany run, as I.. just received the mici-pc!

First, they run a very nice portal with one of the few pc and mici hardware configurators
that I know. Second, they sell on Amazon too, where I originally got about them.

I like a lot also the fact they sell system with dated but decent processors to keep down the price.
What I like less is maybe they pretend to speak mostly german, or not speak at all.

As I said, they marked my product delivered almost immediately,
I believe, and I could be wrong, they didn't tested it against OpenBSD by choise.

The mini-pc arrived in three working days, from Germany to Italy. 30 bucks of DHL delivery but..
I could be certainly happy of such a service..

This is the unboxing of this morning:
https://5md.at/l/unbox1
https://5md.at/l/unbox2
https://5md.at/l/unbox3
https://5md.at/l/unbox4

Anything wrong? Windows and Linux made them foolish?

I think that we should shorten this "formal gap" also because,
indeed and correctly people think and behave differently for they own
reasons. And, it is not to support them without a reason: I personally
pay much respect to people like these one who point to "serve"
you in such rare conditions
(although at time I can't still be sure about the possibility to openbsd it..). 

Can we arrange these situation in a better bsd fashion?

I will update you to bugs@ as soon I can boot this mini-pc, hopefully
I will not.... :D
