Hi All, Hope that everyone is doing well today. As you may know, I am experimenting heavily with mfsBSD as I really like the ultra-small iso's that it produces which gives me a chance to learn more about FreeBSD as well as to customize things as I go. To that end, mfsBSD which I am building against the FreeBSD RELEASE 12.1 base does not contain Bhyve by default but when you install FreeBSD then it is present. Would it be possible if someone might be able to point me in the right direction, or give me some information, on how I might be able to install the Bhyve binaries, libraries, and drivers into my experimental mfsBSD? I do not know a lot about the FreeBSD Ports or PKG system, so maybe it is in there somewhere and I can try to install it, but I need to be able to create a ".tbz" file of it and its dependencies from what I have read so far. On a side note, I was just wondering why Bhyve was a userland application and not added as some type of kernel extension? (Mostly just wondering the reasoning behind it) Cheers and have a great weekend, everyone. Lonnie
