the worst part is, it’s not even something to study, just do shitty tasks that aren’t worth jack shit IRL.
I hate uni with a passion.

The swap partition is important because that is where core dumps are written if there is a kernel panic. Then when the system reboots the core is saved to a file on the filesystem before using the space for swap again. The core dump is extremely valuable for debugging.

UEFI support is there, but I’m not sure if the installer does it for you. I will try going through a UEFI install tomorrow and see what I find.

I’ll be so mad at Dell if they implemented the BIOS like that. I’ll have to find my stick.
With redgek gone I can still be unique!
You can do it! Don’t be like me. No one should want to be like @Goalkeeper

I forgot at what point during the install, but it asks if you want to do a UEFI install or a legacy install. I chose UEFI.

I don’t care about uni, I care about not wasting 1.5 years.

Not to mention the money
So with the 2320, Dell doesn’t give you the option to do a legacy boot. So I’m stuck. Lol. Interestingly tho, th model above this one, the 2330, does have an option to do that. 
I’m really starting to hate this computer. 
. I’m going to come back to this project with another PC in a few months.

What the fooking fuck. When the screen that displays, after installing, that shows “F1” 
, you’re supposed to push the enter key.

Do you need to get the drivers from a port or something? Or is that just for applications?

That is a good question. Just thru some quick googling, it looks like the drivers are there and I just have to manually add some stuff to a few files and I should be alright.
Currently trying to get Xorg dowbmladed thru pkg via Ethernet. So I can install a GUI and do it that way. But it appears that I have to update the repository before I can download stuff.

That error was the result of pkg not being able to connect to the server as a result of the computer not being able to connect to the internet . As i assumed dhcp was running, but it wasn’t running by default out of the box.
I had to run
dhclient << Ethernet name >>
to get dhcp going. Xorg is now being downloaded.
