I have gotten FBSD to run from a 1 gig stick some while ago. I now would like to install something like the above tips here only onto the 3rd partition of an 8gig stick.(without a bootloader as I will use grub2 for this experiment) So right now this stick is booting well with grub2 in mbr...

awesome intensity! Yeah, I get very bugged about adding layers to layers. So, hmmm... lots to think about. I'm down to my needed dozen or so cli things, plus about 20 cli utils, the odd util or other with a bare gtk theme/iface, and stuff like openoffice running WITHOUT any java. I just...

my reaction pretty much as well. Though as I'll be running an ARCH install for the forseeable future along with my FreeBSD studies I'm always looking to avoid anything that's not going to be best practices in BSD if at all possible. So, more and more I see that in my HOME folder (not /etc)...

UZBL browser and a ton of others use XDG Base Directory Specification which by default I believe put configs etc. in the .config folder. I run a super minimalistic xmonad mainly cli system and am slowly getting to be able to become a freeBSD'er. I may have missed more than I realize though it...

THANK YOU! and gee, wish I could edit my post above and add the missing letter. I love details!:stud

Hi, feels like a dumb question yet I thought I did see a link to download some kind of 9.0 current ISO. Is there one? (i386)

There's be a lot of updates and changes to mc over past few months in various linux distro as well. I did my freebsd compile with one of the option turned off (i believe it was the one above here, iconv was it?) Perhaps don't need to do that now though. Anyways I still start my mc "mc -u" or...

Extremely kind and helpful. respect to all.

Thinking I might be able to create a .img for the 8.0 bootonly.iso ON linux with the first couple of steps here. http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/DiskImageCreation

Hi, hoping to get a bootable bootonly iso onto a 64 mef flash stick! hehehe well, I do not like unetbootin for this and I have tried a dd though of course that doesn't work when done from linux machine I think. So, I have only a working linux system. I know there is a 7.1 bootonly .img files...

known bug? Making me better at freeBSD for sure. Running from 1 gig flash stick. Typing it what's advised at: mountpoint> works sometimes. It may be (as said in first link and elsewhere) that typing ufs:/dev/da0 FIVE TIMES (failing each time of course) THEN doing full string...

Could it be the thing I always had to puzzle about with linux where the PC bios calls the partition from a different name. I've had many a struggle figuring out how to boot from external drive or flash changing grub/fstab. Sorry I can just tell you.

I've been very plesantly surprised with scrotWM after getting to the point skill-wise where I was able to try many WMs. Keeping an eye on Xmonad while wishing it could be have a small footprint.
