It is developed more with Linux in mind, and has always lacked ufs||ffs modules. So is not suitable for use on *BSD systems. It would be fairly trivial to create the modules to provide *BSD native support. But those who use the BSD family of operating systems fave found that sysinstall(8), fdisk(8) and related, are more than adequate to get the job done. There are also some very informative docs related to these tasks installed as part of your system, as well as available from: http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html It's hard to imagine needing anything else -- even if it's ones very first time. --Chris > > I'm finding it much more difficult to learn BSD than it was to learn Linux. > However, I'm sure it will be worth it, as BSD is legendary for stability and is > the basis for Mac OS and other proprietary systems. > > -- > Jason Hsu <jhsu802701@jasonhsu.com> > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" > > --
