https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=246047 --- Comment #2 from bourne.identity@hotmail.com <bourne.identity@hotmail.com> --- I am not really concerned about sharing filesystems between FreeBSD and Linux. What I am concerned about is the lack of rsync, linuxfdisk and mkfs.ext2 in the FreeBSD installer. Having these components in the FreeBSD installer permits multiple conveniences via the FreeBSD installation CD/DVD/memstick not available otherwise. These components make the installer's shell much more powerful. As for GPT and UEFI, these are a real pain. GPT cannot multi-boot; UEFI is GPT-linked crap that originated at Intel. Operating systems work best with MBR and BIOS. Irrespective of whether one uses MBR+BIOS or GPT+UEFI, the components I request are still needed in the installation media. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
