    Trying out some GhostBSD for a change. It's a pretty solid desktop experience ngl. The Mate desktop is better (and prettier) than my (old) memories about it. But on my ThinkPad, I still prefer vanilla FreeBSD with XFCE4 as that feels more like "home" 🙂 #runbsd #freebsd #ghostbsd #bsd #unix #desktop

Then did the above and it all seems ok as per folk on the web and OpenBSD docs but newfs_extfs just sits there doing nothing.Anyone help or have a simple idiot sheet of what to do from wiping the USB memory stick to setting up an ext2 partition and formatting it. Mounting it will be the easy part.
