All GhostBSD CD/DVD's are live installable, (as are the 'image' files).

Many people say they had 3.5 up and running, so no harm in trying it.

Re: Does Ghost do wireless?
I don't know if NDIS is in GhostBSD as standard, but I doubt it. Never having had to use it myself, I can only point you to info. Mounting a Linux partition from BSD can be tricky as not all Linux filesystems are supported. Basically the syntax is the same :- mount <drive> -t <filesystem> <mount-poi...

Re: Does Ghost do wireless?
Linux drivers don't normally work on BSD, but you can try, (the kernels are quite different).

Re: GhostBSD4.0-RC2
As far as I am aware, it is still FreeBSD underneath, so if it uses certain drivers, then surely GhostBSD would.ericbsd wrote:Diagnostic on PCBSD will not help to pinpoint the problem in GhostBSD.

Re: GhostBSD4.0-RC2
Sorry, I don't have it any more since it crashed on the HP-G62, but I'm sure it needs Intel.

Re: Wine or Play on Linux for default
I am not so sure that either would fit with the original intention of a light environment, but maybe as easily installable options.
