Here is the updated version of the scripts. I added some comments so other like me can maybe find all this a little easier... A question - in script 4 - zfsstorage.sh, can I set the altroot the way I did? Considering I already have a zpool (created in script 3 - zfssys.sh) - will these two...

Well that's the problem - I don't know yet. As I said I'm only starting with FreeBSD and I will mostly play with features. I just needed a 'safe' start, and as far as I understood, 16 GB of RAM and 8 GB of swap should be a safe bet.

I've been doing some more research and wrote a few scripts to help me with the install process. Most parts are taken from several different guides and then tweaked to fit my needs. My machine will have one 256 GB SSD and one 1 TB HDD, but scripts are written in such a way that they can be used...

Ok, thanks. I'll keep researching and try to figure out what works best for me. If anyone else has some good guides/links, please share. Thanks, developej

Hey, Next month I'll be getting a brand new desktop PC - Intel Haswell, SSD, and for starters NO GPU (I hope to get some of the new nVidia cards, but I don't know when). And I want to switch to FreeBSD (I've been using Linux for some time). Is the new Intel HD 4600 supported or will I have...
