Ability to add lib32, base at install

[sdo992]

First, thank you for this hard work. So far, I love the aesthetics and I agree with the philosophy. However, it's still a FreeBSD base, which means nothing is easy. For example, my ultimate goal is to install wine so I can run the couple of programs I still have that use Windows.

I've tried to reinstall helloSystem 3 or 4 times now without any luck. I just borked the last install trying to download the base and lib32 from:

http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/13.0-RELEASE/

And then trying:

sudo tar -C / -xvpf lib32.txz
sudo tar -C / -xvpf base.txz

The problem was that the base.txz overwrote the /etc/master.passwd file and I was locked out of the system. So, I came back to the installer, just now, and I'm going to try to install from bsdinstaller. I am hoping that it install the entire DE along with it, but I'm not hopeful.

I could not find any simple directions to install lib32, at all.

EDIT: The bsdinstall just failed with a message about not being able to find the MANIFEST.

Hello @sdo992. base.txz contains the FreeBSD operating system. The way I understand it you are never ever supposed to extract it over an already set up, running system (like helloSystem). You can do that with lib32.txz and with source.txz but not with base.txz.

So, I came back to the installer, just now, and I'm going to try to install from bsdinstaller.

To install helloSystem, run the Live ISO, and use "Install FreeBSD" from the Menu.
