Hello, Now running TDE under Devuan ascii. SSD has lots of empty space in which I installed FreeBSD 12 from USB. But it didn't install the boot selection menu. Entered the Live Disk command line and tried using boot0cfg, which created a minimal menu - to boot I still have to keep the USB plugged in. At startup I need to find a way to run FreeBSD on the SSD to be able to install TDE, etc. Any ideas? Robert
Could you pleas provide some more detailed information? GRUB is installed on /dev/sda, grub.cfg is on /dev/sda1/boot/<...>, FreeBSD is on /dev/sda2 | /dev/ada0p2s* ? You are trying to boot from grub? Does the grub chainloader manage to boot the FreeBSD bootloader?

Hi Nik, Thanks for the earlier reply. I have tried various things with grub, etc... without success. I will put this on hold for now and do more research.
Ok, then you are at the same status with grub as I am. In the end I went the other way round and added GRUB to FreeBSD bootloader :-)

So, the outcome of all that is: I installed FreeBSD on all of a 500G SSD. With some looking was able to install and use a desktop system (Mate), configure Wifi, the system clock, etc. But I would really like to be using TDE. There are several posts from years back by people trying to port TDE programs to FreeBSD. I have some software experience and would be glad to help if possible. Robert

you need to get "tde-packaging" from git, switch from master to r14.0.x, then you have a "freebsd"folder. go there, down to "dependencies" and build one by one ...

Robert,
Like Dr. Klepp has already told you, TDE -R14.0.X for FreeBSD do exist as ports (for a good few), you may see/get them from our Trinity Gitea Workingspace here:
https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/explore/repos
Then follow Dr. Klepp instruction's, to my knowledge there's no FreeBSD packages, those binaries have to be built on your machine.
If you fell like contributing, please don't send patch in bugzilla, instead register to TGW and then ask to be added therein as a contributor.
I wish bugzilla be set to "read-only" because TGW is where the TDE development takes place with a 'new Branch - Pull Request' type of workflow.
Hi man!

Thanks for the replies and messages. I can now use Xfce in FreeBSD, but want to stay with Devuan and TDE for now. I will look into Git, Gitea, etc. and later get into porting TDE programs to FreeBSD. Robert
