GhostBSD uses ZFS. But the ext2fs driver will permit the FreeBSD kernel to access ext2 file systems and its derivatives. It currently implements most of the features required by ext3 and ext4 file systems. Support for Extended Attributes in ext4 is experimental. Journalling and encryption are curre...

If you search in the net you will get all the answers. But it is always the view of someone.

I've got a temporary remedy, small plug in Edimax WiFi adapter so now to try and install a full version.

Well, all installed on an external drive but I cannot boot, I'll ask under a different subject so this thr...
