Tutorials and FAQs / Help with installing the thing on a PC (dual boot)
« on: February 13, 2020, 05:05:51 pm »
Hi,
please forgive my nooby question but I did´t get it from the tutorial past the USB media creation.
I want to install OPNsense on a notebook using dual boot Ubuntu/Win10 (please no advices to virtualizing Win in Ubuntu, as it has not a strong hardware).
As i understand, the OPNsense image needs to install first on a HDD, but I do not know how to proceed afterwards. Can I simply run a Win10 installation process from an USB stick, after I installed OPNsense (and partitioned the HDD)? Afterwards doing the same for Ubuntu.
In case Win 10 install is not supported, I am fine with doing only with Ubuntu (so no dual boot).
p.s.: I prefer the MBR / BIOS type of install.
Thank you very much for a hint
