https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=198380 --- Comment #3 from Blake McBride <blake1024@gmail.com> --- Let me put this another way. I have 30+ years experience with Unix and software development. One of the things I learned is "have you tried it once"? I assure you that your GUI installer will not install a fresh MBR system on a 32 bit machine. Most who have tried, you have lost to Linux. The others figured out, as I did, how to do it manually with gpart. The biggest problem you have with FreeBSD is the huge amount of bad or out-of-date documentation, and the fact that really basic stuff doesn't work. All you need is a tester worth his salt and someone who will listen to him. FreeBSD could be a really great system, as those who suffered through the learning curve can attest. The distance between where you are now, and making a system that doesn't turn off all but the most committed isn't far. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
