FreeBSD Gnome GParted
When I googled partitioning someone said
they preferred using GParted by itself to partition. Will FreeBSD install and let me partition after install later from within it? Goal is to lower frustration level. |
gparted isn't very useful for FreeBSD. You will have to learn to use the tools provided by the OS - if you want Linux then just install and use Linux.

slackwarenewbee, I would like to add a clarifying point. The BSD family of operating systems have their own partitioning schema, using a technology called a disklabel. This is separate and distinct from the Master Boot Record (MBR) or GUID Partition Table (GPT) found on your x86-based workstation.
So on systems that use MBR/GPT, we typically assign a single MBR/GPT partition to the OS -- for boot blocks and so that another OS doesn't overwrite that area of disk -- and then we use disklabel partitions assigned from within that MBR/GPT partition.
