====== FreeBSD Install ======

  * [[FreeBSD]]
  * [[FreeBSD Ports]]

==== Afterboot ====

Right after installation, you can login as ''root''.  Your default shell will be [[csh]].

Before moving on, setup SSH so you can login as root remotely:

<code>
sed -ie 's/#PermitRootLogin no/PermitRootLogin yes/g' /etc/ssh/sshd_config
/etc/rc.d/sshd restart
</code>

Update the kernel and userspace, and then reboot the machine:

<code>
freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update install
</code>

==== Install Ports Tree ====

Before installing any packages, let's bring the ports tree up to date.  Depending on your install, you may already have a ports tree, but it will be outdated at this point.

Fetch the latest ports snapshot and update the tree:

<code>
portsnap fetch
portsnap extract > /dev/null
</code>

==== Configure Build System ====

Before building any ports from source, update the configuration for all builds:

<code>
echo BATCH=yes >> /etc/make.conf
echo WITHOUT_TEST=yes >> /etc/make.conf
echo WITHOUT_X11=yes >> /etc/make.conf
</code>

==== Base Install ====

== Update timezone ==

<code>
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Denver /etc/localtime
echo ntpdate_enable=YES >> /etc/rc.conf
/etc/rc.d/ntpdate start
</code>

==== Utilities Install ====

Now that the base install is finished, let's move into the basic utilities.

== Setup linprocfs for htop ==

Load linux modules:

<code>
kldload linux
kldload linux64
</code>

Enable auto load of modules in ''/etc/rc.conf'':

<code>
kld_list="linux linux64"
linux_enable="YES"
</code>

Add to ''/etc/fstab'':

<code>
procfs                  /proc                   procfs          rw              0       0
linprocfs               /compat/linux/proc      linprocfs       rw              0       0
</code>

Install htop:

<code>
pkg install htop
</code>
