how to make a usb thumbdrive a boot-ram kind of extension

Hi

As per the title how to make a usb thumbdrive a boot-ram kind of extension so that the boot ram can be extended to get past the 4gb limitation so that gbsd can be installed on a system with less than 4gb ram (which is currently required for installation).

Cheers...

newest release is borked in many ways

Hi

Installed what I thought succesfully the latest release, to replace a borked ghostbsd, only to find that is more borked than the previos version.

Terminal will not open, software centre will not open, indeed very little will open and run.

cheers
