How to install hellosystem to a vacant slice/partition?

[bsdforge]

Hello,
Fun system! One huge nit; the install requires an entire hard drive. :/
I've been on BSD for nearly 40yrs. Maintain some 200 FreeBSD ports. So, well familiar with your
underlying OS -- great choice on your part! :) Point is; as you're using FreeBSD; why can't I install
hellosystem to a vacant slice/partition already available on the hard drive? FreeBSD install has
provided that option for years. IMHO this should be one of highest priorities. It's a stumbling block
for most users hoping to adopt your system.
Apologies if this came off as a rant or criticism. Not intended. Just hoping to get this on my multi-
boot system so I might aid in further development and use. :)

THANKS! :)

Hi @bsdforge. Unfortunately currently the installer can only take over the whole disk. Muti-boot configurations are not yet implemented in the installer. But if you just want to try out the system, there is a Live ISO that boots into the desktop environment. This is where our main attention so far went. Regards

Thanks! I've mounted both the ISO and the /boot/root.uzip to investigate how it's all put together.
In hopes I might be able to whip up an installer that can simply "pour" the contents of an install
to an already prepared slice/partition. As well as putting the necessary boot file in the ESP.
Thanks again! Love the system!
