Greetings all,
I have acquired an older 32 bit 2GB laptop with two MBR partitions; the first having Linux installed. I would like to use the second partition for FreeBSD.
Since I have never done dual-boot installation, from my reading I understand that I simply install the FreeBSD on the second partition and use the Grub 2 loader to switch between the two OSs. Is it that simple, or have I missed something?
Also, since I will use UFS, and would like to have a lightweight GUI, e.g., Fluxbox, Lumina, XFCE, and the basic tools like: browser, mail client, Libre Office, and the like, could someone suggest partitioning scheme with sizes for the 100 GB partition?
Kindest regards,
M
