BSD And Other Things

How does FreeBSD boot?
Just installed it, but it hadn't written into the MBR.
Bootpartition and loader isn't able to be chosen manually...

Is this the new mac general?

>>56130354
did you partition it as GPT

>>56130556
yes

>>56130479
No, because macfags don't know anything about OS X other than it's shiny.

>>56130574
that's why

>>56130588
Win 7 is installed parallely

>>56130580
OSX is the only usable BSD though

>>56130627
yeah you're right

i mean i have to type "pkg_add firefox" to install firefox, wtf!

>>56130627
Not true

is this the new desktop thread

OpenBSD has the coolest release artwork, damn.

>PC-BSD (an operating system based on FreeBSD) avoids dependency hell by placing packages and dependencies into self-contained directories, which avoids breakage if system libraries are upgraded or changed. PC-BSD uses its own "PBI" (Push Button Installer) for package management.
Does FreeBSD do that?

i think poudriere is meant to do something like this, yeah

openbsd does something similar by "fake installs" which installs stuff in a temporary directory then packages the program, therefore allowing you to remove it easily if something goes wrong

I'm wondering what the difference between OpenBSD and FreeBSD is and which is easier to learn on?

>>56132416
Both have great documentation so both are easy.

OpenBSD comes with X though.

I've got OBSD5.9 on my thinkpad and it's worked flawlessly so far. Battery life is the same as in Linux (close to Windows) and everything else is rock solid. Would recommend.

But possible you make your partitions incorrectly:

Or simple use not uefi image on uefi system etc.
