Freeze Project Guide

⚠️ WARNING:
Freeze OS is experimental. Installing incorrectly can wipe your data.
Always back up your files first.

What You Need

• A USB drive (at least 1GB)
• Another computer to prepare the USB
• Your freeze.iso file (from GitHub)

Step 1 Download the Freeze Project

Go to the repo:
Freeze Project GitHub

If you want to build it:

make

Make sure you have:

freeze.iso

Step 2 Create a Bootable USB

Windows (is Easiest)

Use Rufus:

Insert USB drive
Open Rufus
Select your USB
Click SELECT → choose freeze.iso
Partition scheme: MBR (for BIOS)
Click START

macOS

diskutil list diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX sudo dd if=freeze.iso of=/dev/rdiskX bs=4m

Wait until it finishes

Linux (Ubuntu recommended)

sudo dd if=freeze.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress sync

Step 3 Boot

Insert the USB into your computer
Restart
Open boot menu (F12 / ESC / DEL / F2)
Select your USB drive

Freeze Project should boot

IMPORTANT (Most Common Issue)

If it doesn't boot, it's usually UEFI vs BIOS.

Fix:

Disable Secure Boot
Enable Legacy Boot / CSM
Set boot mode to Legacy / BIOS

Freeze Project usually works with BIOS / Legacy.
