[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 1103923, member: 61091"] I've been enjoying MX-Linux but wanted to try FreeBSD (again) after reading comparison at zenarmor. (I had run FreeBSD ages ago). I have VMware 17.6 and tried to create FreeBSD 14.1 Guest. VMw read the iso and started to install, but when the procedure got to ZFS Configuration it would not proceed and the info was vague. I went backwards and tried a few different things but always stuck at ZFS config. I did notice that when VMw was reading iso it identified the OS FreeBSD version 10 or earlier, but no option for later (current) version...? Does FreeBSD 14 run in VMware? Also I see at an earlier step in the procedure "Partitioning" there are 4 options I picked the first (default?) Auto (ZFS) Guide Root-on-ZFS. Later, chatGPT suggested to try Auto (UFS) Guide UFS Disk setup. I have created a couple Linux Guest OS and have not had to deal partitioning. The space I give on VMw for Guest is 128gb. Disclaimer: I did not read the FreeBSD installation guide (yet) as I thought the prompts would be clear and it would install fairly easily. [/QUOTE]
