I worked with the student to set up a VM to run FreeBSD, with full graphical desktop. You might want to follow the instructions that the student followed here: http://blogs.freebsdish.org/rodrigc/2013/05/24/setting-up-a-vm-for-doing-gsoc-work/ Only interesting details: (1) Student used VMWare player instead of VirtualBox (shouldn't be a big deal). (2) We used pkgng to install binary packages (3) We used one of the pkgng mirrors, since pkgng packages from FreeBSD.org aren't fully available yet Other than that, things worked fine, and the student was able to get a full FreeBSD with graphical desktop inside a VM. -- Craig _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
