Dear guys,
thank you for your support. At the moment I have not time to spend on
FreeSBIE because I'm working on the thesis for my M.Sc.
I think FreeSBIE was a succesful project and can even be improved in
the future. If anyone has any suggestions, I ask him to send them
here, please (patches are really appreciated). I have no time to work
on it now, but in the future..who knows. =)
Thank you again
Best regards

Hello.<br>
<br>
I have recently found of the existence of FreeSBIE.<br>
<br>
In trying to download a copy of FreeSBIE, with, I understand, version<br>
2.0.1 being the latest current stable version, using the links on the<br>
web page at <a href=3D"http://www.freesbie.org/downloads.php" target=3D"_bl=
ank">http://www.freesbie.org/downloads.php</a>, I found the<br>
following links to be broken.<br>
<br>
Under the heading FTP sites:<br>

><br>
# <a href=3D"http://ftp2.freesbie.org" target=3D"_blank">ftp2.freesbie.org<=

<br>
Under the heading HTTP sites:<br>
<br>
* <a href=3D"http://ftp.freesbie.org" target=3D"_blank">ftp.freesbie.org</a=

<br>
So, is FreeSBIE still available, or, has it been abandoned?<br>
<br>
&gt;From what I have read, no messages, and, no updates, appear to have<br>
been posted, for about a year, and I am wondering whether the project<br>
has been abandoned.<br>
<br>
Thank you in anticipation, for your response.<br>
