I am new to FreeBSD, and have only used Linux for less than a year.
I have read the "Handbook", also "FreeBSD An open-source system
for your personal computer", they both suggest that I do a
standard installation, whereas in "The Complete FreeBSD" by Greg
Lehey, his suggestion is to do the custom installation. Any
suggestions as to which way to go.?
I recommend the custom installation. I also say why.
Well, I am looking at the 3rd Edition page 71 where it appears you
recommend the custom and the novice installations. The only real
comment about the custom installation is that it takes you back to the
top menu after each step. I have installed may copies of versions
2,3,4, and not 5 and don't see what the advantage of that might be.
The only reason that comes to mind is if you botch something you can
go
back and redo it. That doesn't seem like much of a big deal to me,
but...
It's not a big deal, but it helps. You're less likely to need to go
back when you're proficient, but it doesn't harm to have the facility.
It doesn't cost you anything.
That makes sense. Glad to know there isn't something I missed.
