Graham PerrinFreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE is officially recommended for new installations. If you perform a new installation, I do recommend the switch to pkgbase – before exiting the installer for the operating system. The switch is not difficult, now – and will become easier with future releases. Your emphasis should be to minimise the traditional steps – in particular, do not rush to add a user. Things such as addition are, instead, easily performed after first boot of the installed system. <<a href="https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1gsjbm5/installing_freebsd_with_pkgbase_november_2024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1gsjbm5/installing_freebsd_with_pkgbase_november_2024/</a>>An ultra-condensed explanation: a) install the OS b) install the OS – and the second installation negates the need for future use of freebsd-update. Yes – pictured here – will give you the so-called chroot environment, in which you can complete the switch. There's a traditional command prompt. <<a href="https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.2R/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.freebsd.org/releases/14.2R/</a>>Packaging of the OS became official more than a year ago; packages are maintained by the Primary Release Engineering Team; freebsd-update is an axe candidate for 15.0; and so on. <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/packages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#packages</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/pkg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pkg</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/install" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#install</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/installation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#installation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/installer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#installer</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/switch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#switch</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/pkgbase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pkgbase</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeBSD</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/announce" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#announce</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/release" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#release</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/axe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#axe</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/freebsdupdate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freebsdupdate</a>
