Depends. But yes, functionally separate partitions often are a better solution than "all in one". ;-) > I tried to get the partition manager, to create separate > partitions,couldn't do it! Use "Manual" from the bsdinstall program to create partitions and assign mountpoints. See chapter 2.6. of The FreeBSD Handbook: https://docs.freebsd.org/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-partitioning.html > You should go back to the other partition manager like freebsd6.1 had! I think that was still sysinstall, which is no longer supported or used. The installation process uses bsdinstall now. > I tried to install version 12,it wouldn't go past the partition manager! Did you receive any useful error message? > The partition manager does not allow choices in the file setup,ie > dump,srv,fake root,nfs. Some of those options can be changed with bsdinstall, too. However, bsdinstall does not cover as many things as sysinstall did. But there are several post-install things you can configure interactively (services and settings) with bsdinstall. Compare chapter 2.8. of The FreeBSD Handbook: https://docs.freebsd.org/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall-post.html > In my opinion an all in 1 partition is a disaster waiting to happen. Depends. For certain kinds of systems (usually home PCs) it seems to be the most convenient approach. > Q:can you give an option in version 14?regarding format choices. FreeBSD 14 will surely still use bsdinstall. More information here: https://wiki.freebsd.org/BSDInstall -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
