Farbot automates building of netinstall/PXE boot FreeBSD releases. It features a simple configuration file based on the concept of "Installations", "PackageSets", and "PartitionMaps." Farbot currently handles the following: * Building FreeBSD releases, including grabbing any source needed. * Building packages for each release, derived from per installation package sets. * Laying out an NFS/TFTP exportable file system structure for all built releases, customized for each installation type. * Generation of a customized bootloader with options to install each installation type

JDiskReport enables you to understand how much space the files and directories consume on your disk drives, and it helps you find obsolete files and folders.

Ledit is a line editor, allowing to use control commands like in emacs or in shells (bash, tcsh). To be used with interactive commands. It is written in Ocaml and Camlp5 and uses the library unix.cma.

This CDDA reader distribution reads audio from the CDROM directly as data, with no analog step between, and writes the data to a file or pipe as .wav, .aifc or as raw 16 bit linear PCM.

The libcdio package contains a library which encapsulates CD-ROM reading and control. Applications wishing to be oblivious of the OS- and device-dependant properties of a CD-ROM can use this library.

Apple's Time Machine is a great feature in their OS, and FreeBSD has almost all of the required technology already built in to recreate it. This is a simple GUI to make it easy to use.

This library comes from the gksu program. It provides a simple API to use su and sudo in programs that need to execute tasks as other user. It provides X authentication facilities for running programs in a X session.

On FreeBSD, it's possible to allow plain users to mount filesystems without using su or sudo. This is enabled via vfs.usermount sysctl. However, if file name conversion is used when mounting a filesystem, in most cases mount will fail with `mount_XXX: XXX_iconv: Operation not permitted denied' error. This is caused by the fact that character set conversion tables need to be loaded into kernel, but, apart from mounting, that's not allowed to plain users, because charset tables are large enough to initiate a denial of service by filling kernel memory with many tables. This utility allows you to load only specific charset tables into kernel, so usermounts with file name conversions won't fail and in the same time it's not possible to bring the system down by filling kernel memory.

The kldpatch utility can print or alter the content of device/quirk tables in kernel modules. These tables are generally used to identify devices, and possibly apply specific quirks to enable/disable certain features. Kldpatch is especially useful to let the kernel recognise a new device without rebooting and rebuilding/reinstalling kernel or modules.

Chiron FS is a FUSE based filesystem which implements replication at the FILESYSTEM LEVEL like RAID 1 does at the DEVICE LEVEL. The replicated filesystems may be of any kind you want the only requisite is that you mount it. No need for special configuration files, the setup is as simple as one mount command (or one line in fstab).
