(Manual?) installation with GELI
Posted: Sun Sep 04, 2016 1:10 pm
I would very much like to use GhostBSD on my workstation at work. I work for a company that allows free choice of the Linux distro to use; I asked about *BSD and since we have FreeBSD servers, too, I was told that *BSD would also be fine. There is just one requirement that GhostBSD does not seem to meet in the graphical installer right now: I need to encrypt everything except /boot with GELI!
Is there any way of doing this? I'd be fine with doing a command line install. Also installing vanilla FreeBSD the way I need it and adding GhostBSD packages on top of that would be fine. How is the GhostBSD system organized? I think some years ago there was a wiki page for PC-BSD which detailed the process of turning a vanilla FreeBSD into PC-BSD. Is the same possible for GhostBSD or do you use a modified FreeBSD? If it is possible, I'd volunteer to document this in the wiki if a developer agrees to give me a hand!
