There could be leftover data on the MBR or EFI from previous GhostBSD installs. I would dd the first 100MB of the disk with something in the like of: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada0 count=100M I had a similar problem with a computer, in that I did not re-format my root FS and simply let the installer d...

Casper I was actually able to set-up Enlightenment on my GhostBSD laptop and it works very well. I will test a setup of OpenBox and will let you know how it goes. Although there is only about a 10 to 20 percent CPU/RAM savings vs the current Mate environment. My whole purpose for this was to have a...

Hi Eric,
Has any progress been made on this topic? I too could help with the KDE 5 plasma on GhostBSD if needed.

Hi, I added the FreeBSD repository to GhostBSD then installed KDE5 plasma. I had absolutely no problems. Check this post:

I installed JVM by enabling the FreeBSD repository: FreeBSD: { url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/quarterly", mirror_type: "srv", signature_type: "fingerprints", fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg", enabled: yes } Ensure to disable the FreeBSD ports repos...

Hi,
I would help if you include the hardware information.

Hello, Simply reporting back. I was able to install GhostBSD on a SSD. I used a SanDisk 180GB SSD. One item to note, I used the whole drive for GhostBSD. Also, I completely wiped the drive with 'gpart' then created a GPT type partition table format. I did not try it on a mbr type partition table for...

There are many installers out there that you can use to create a persistent Live USB system. The one i use is Muilt-i-system.
You can check the process here: http://liveusb.info/dotclear/index.php?pages/install

It is odd that install fails on SSD. I have a SSD so I am going to try to install GhostBSD on it. Also, since you are able to install GhostBSD on a platter disk, try the process below. On Platter disk: 1. install GhBSD On SSD: 1. create at least root /, and Swap (create, usr, var, etc. if you prefer...

I would say it may be easier to install GhostBSD and Linux dual boot this way: 1. with a blank HDD (or blank it on step 2) boot to GhBSD via your dvd/usb/iso, etc 2. assuming an 80GB hdd, with gpart create a blank slice for GhBSD root and swap, say 40 for /, and 4 swap, thus 44GB slice 3. create bla...
