I would like to use version 11.0 Stable or Release. Here is the steps I am going to take.... Yes you can suggest that I have this totally borked. My wife tells me I am only expert at making a mess! The present layout of the computer I am going to install first: 1 SSD with windows and FreeBSD 10.3 This will change to just win7 and the boot loader, so that FreeBSD will only be on a ZFS raid Z array. Will this still be able to boot? Will I need to change the boot loader already installed? I am using the FreeBSD 10.x boot loader that shows you F1, F2 and F3 F1 windows 7, F2 windows data and F3 FreeBSD 10.0 1 Hard drive that has Windows data partition and FreeBSD partition ( which contains /usr/home and /usr/ports etc) This hard drive will be removed when this all works. 1 DVD drive that is coming out ( don't use it any more ) OK look out, here it goes...... - Install 4 1TB hard drives for ZFS raid Z array. - Load FreeBSD ( current USB image ) from USB using ZFS. Will the installer do this or do I need to tweak it? Will my present 10.3 version still function while I am setting this up? I will have win7 on the first primary drive an SSD and then remove the second drive after I get this going. I want to create filesystems on the Raid Z array like /usr/home /usr/ports /usr/ports/packages etc. You can suggest any other filesystems if it will be helpful. - svnlite co Need the URL so I can fetch 11-Current or 11-Release - build world Yep I got this (well maybe see below) - build kernel Yep I got this too ;) -build lumina Have not been successful getting version 1 to function, crashes Xorg, the old version works. Pointers any one? - build other things Opera - should not be an issue Thunderbird - should not be an issue FireFox - should not be an issue Keepassx - should not be an issue - build local repository Wow, I got this too, well maybe the only step I can do ;) no help needed for this step Now let me throw a monkey wrench and hammer into this..... Can I use clang and LLVM? Ditching ld? If so I will need advice on how to do this. As always.....Thanks for your review and help
