+The FreeBSD LiveCD Tool Set main goal is allowing one to generate
+custom FreeBSD Live CDs. FreeBSD LiveCD was born as a Brazilian
+FreeBSD User Group (www.fugspbr.org) project. The objective was to
+create a tool that would allow us a safe diagnostic method under
+emergency enviroments and specially as a rescue disk where FreeBSD
+partitions could only be accessed (mounted) externally.
+
+What is LiveCD? Its such a simple answer, it is nothing but a set
+of patches applied to the FreeBSD Initialization files allowing the
+system to run from a CDROM, setting the best way to either mount
+under Memory File System (MFS) or Virtual Nodes (vnodes) those
+filesystems that need Write and Read access. Slices that just need
+Read access are still run from the CD.
+
+Can I use it to install FreeBSD? Yes, with recent revision 1.2, it
+can install a FreeBSD system without any other disks. It also support
+batch operation mode for automated installation processes.
+
+Is LiveCD any different from an ordinarily installed FreeBSD system?
+It is a completely functional FreeBSD system just like any ordinarily
+installed one. You will be able to both run any applications and
+mount any filesystems as any FreeBSD system would allow you.
