Normally you can do “pc-sysinstall -c “. That won’t help with this snapshot as there was a problem with pc-sysinstall itself. The new snapshot is being tested and should be uploaded soon.

You can use freshports.org to determine when each version is committed to ports. Since XFCE is built with each snapshot, any snapshot built after May 25 will have 4.10 (the day it was committed), and any snapshot built after the date 4.12 is committed (which will show up on freshports when it is committed) will have that version.

Thanks! Meanwhile, is there a way to install PC-BSD manually? For FreeBSD it’s as easy as doing bsdinstall distextract into /mnt.

An issue was discovered with the ISO and the fix should be released early this upcoming week.

Hi! Tried to install this snapshot, BUT at the end it got stuck with “umount ${FSMNT}” or something like that. Aborting and booting into such incompletely installed system results in kernel panic.

As of 9.0, KDE is no longer the default desktop and you can select from over a dozen integrated desktops before and after the installation: http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/Desktops.

FreeBSD is a greate OS, but I just want know, why use KDE as the default Deskop. is there any other Desktop edition? such as xface ? I have used DesktopBSD and PCBSD, but I think they are too huge.

It is good idea if many computers work at PCBSD. But my computer unique in the organization who has PCBSD. I simply love PCBSD.:-)
