Hi,  

   I  have  been  playing  around  with  15-Beta4  these last  days. 

   As  discussed  in  the  current mailinglist  the  OLD  DVD-R  format  of  4.7 GB    is no longer 
  large enough  to  include all  thats  needed.    I  propose  that  the  recommendation  for   15.0 release 
 will be  to  use  the  8.5 GB  DVD-DL   media ( Dual Layer )   if you need to use OPTICAL dvd. 
  I have  used  DVD+R-DL   with  no  issues  for  the  15-ALPHA  and  15-BETA  snapshots. 
  Im happy  to  report  that  installing  Packages  from  Installmedia  now  is  working. 

 Its  possible    to  do  :  

 #  mkdir /dist 
 # mount_cd9660  /dev/cd0  /dist 
 # export REPOS_DIR=/dist/packages/repos 
 # pkg bootstrap 
# pkg install  xorg gnome kde firefox sddm 

 However   there are  no   Graphics  drivers  on  the  install-DVD.iso.  these  should be  added  

so  that  the  novice  user  can install  a  working  Desktop  from  the  installmedia. 
Me being an  Nvidia guy,   had  to do  the  following  via  the  internet connection  to  get  the  KDE-6 desktop working . 
someone  used  to  build  AMD-GPU  /  INTEL-GPU      setups should  list  whats  needed   for  these  GPUs .
  Obviously  establishing  the  network  connection.   ( by answering  the questions  in  the  installer )  
 then;  

  

# pkg install  nvidia-drm-kmod  nvidia-xconfig nvidia-settings nvidia-texture-tools  
#  sysrc linux_enable="YES"
#  sysrc sddm_enable="YES"  
#  sysrc kld_list="nvidia-modeset nvidia-drm"
#  echo "hw.nvidiadrm.modeset=1" >> /boot/loader.conf 
#  kldload linux linux64 
# pkg install  linux_base-rl9-9 
# echo "proc            /proc   procfs          rw     0     0"  >> /etc/fstab 
# echo "linprocfs   /compat/linux/proc  linprocfs       rw      0       0"  >> /etc/fstab
# echo "linsysfs   /compat/linux/sys   linsysfs        rw      0       0"  >> /etc/fstab 

Reboot  !

     (  and  you  need  to select  Plasma/X11   in  the  SDDM  menu , after  reboot  )    

  

   SO in all  these  15  commands  results in  a  working  graphical  desktop  .   

   To  achive  FreeBSD  adoption  on  laptops,   this  needs  to be  made availbel,  

    Put in  a  menu   or  put in a script   so  a  novice   user  can  run it.  


    Regards
