https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D210029 --- Comment #2 from ingeva <ingeborg@fmgirl.com> --- I gave the version number as 10.3. The file I burnt to USB first, then to DVD, was PCBSD10.3-RELEASE-03-31-2016-x64-DVD.iso Both behaved the same way; instead of booting, transfer was done to the existing boot manager, GRUB2 (Only one system on the disk; Linux Mint 17.3), and I intended to install FreeBSD on a free partition. You gave me a link to several ISO images, none of which resemble or come cl= ose to the size of the above. To begin with I would like a complete desktop installation, but I have a fast link so whether it's downloaded from the ne= t or from the DVD doesn't really matter - except that I might get more updated modules from the Net? I have an Intel 64-bit processor, 8GM RAM, and a 120GB SSD disk as the prim= ary disk. It has three partitions that I can use: System, swap and storage. I prefer to boot from USB since it's much faster and can be re-used (my DVD's can't). So which one should I use? I've been using linux for 8 years and unix several years before that, so I guess I could manage OK. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
