( a Ugreen case for a 10Gbps NVMe drive 2280 size Fred Finster, [1/1/24 3:11 AM] like an i3+ maybe. I just looking to build , create an inexpensive method to have a real FreeBSD based, desktop computer with keyboard and mouse connected to the HDMI input on your 1920x1080 TV Monitor screen with sound speakers http://ghostbsdarm64.hopto.org/packages/ http://ghostbsdarm64.hopto.org/packages/gh14_jan01_arm64_create_disk.tar.xz Here is a compressed file to download. There is a README.txt file inside there. use command to uncompress tar xvzf gh14_jan01* you can install X and run XFCE 4.18 with a simple pkg install xorg xfce xfce4-goodies lightdm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ https://freebsd.org/where https://download.freebsd.org/releases/ISO-IMAGES/14.0/ https://download.freebsd.org/releases/ISO-IMAGES/14.0/ https://download.freebsd.org/releases/ISO-IMAGES/14.0/FreeBSD-14.0-RELEASE-arm64-aarch64-RPI.img.xz Look GhostBSD is downstream from FreeBSD. I have built from sources github.com/ghostbsd/ghostbsd-src and github.com/ghostbsd/ghostbsd-ports source code. I have one image to burn into a USB flash drive and boot up. From that image you can transfer to a USB SSD drive using ZFS boot on root technology. i am interested to learn how much of the Raspi4B, 400 source code will just work on the Raspberry Pi 5 without changes, and how much is quite different from RPI 1 one chip interfaces. -- Fred Finster GhostBSD-Arm64.blogspot.com t.me/ghostbsd Telegram Channel GhostBSD.org website
