--------------------------------------------
-#When installing, make sure to include "documentation" on text install screen.
-#After succesful install, run these commands first to get the ports installed
-#If you did not do this, then for 10.X > freeBSD, bootstrap the entire system:
-/usr/sbin/pkg
-#With no internet, obtain the ports and migrate by disc to host, then:
-cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg
-make
-make install
-make clean
-#If you have internet, but are running beneath 10.X and cannot bootstrap (above), then:
-portsnap fetch
-#Extract them into /usr/ports/ with the following
-portsnap extract
-#As of 10.X > freeBSD will automatically allow the native pkg manager to install ports:
-#This allows the user to avoid compiling from source and navigating to directories, e.g.:
-pkg install <pkgname>
-#You may still, however, compile the package from source
-#Just like the non-internet step installation of pkg requires above:
-cd /usr/ports/<pkgname>
-make install
-make clean
-#freeBSD has port managers, mostly that predate 10.X > freeBSD, but still help, such as:
-pkg install portmaster
-#And, notably, portupgrade listed below relies on Ruby, similar to Homebrew:
-pkg install portupgrade
--------------------------------------------
-#Ok, this is a good time to:
-reboot
-#Then, probably get all your common packages:
-pkg install cmus
-pkg install irssi
-pkg install lynx
-pkg install nano
-pkg install libreoffice
-pkg install gimp
-pkg install firefox
-pkg install chromium
-pkg install alpine
-pkg install mutt
-pkg install <lotsmore>
-#Once nano, xorg, & mate-desktop are installed, set-up a "desktop" (GUI) such as:
-#KDE, Gnome, MATE, etc.  Tap F1 at the log-in screen to toggle between
-pkg install mate mate-desktop
-#Desktops require "Window Managers" in order to function, such as:
-#Fluxbox, WindowMaker, X11, xwm, etc. - for ease, use xorg:
-pkg install xorg
-#You will need a way to switch between desktops, and one convenient package is:
-pkg install slim
--------------------------------------------
-#Technically, that is all you need file-wise, but the /etc/ directory needs adjusting:
-#Consider adjusting build release date for pkg
-nano /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf
-%Replace /latest with /release/0/ or whatever
-#If you do that, then run these to update the package manager to that version:
-pkg upgrade
-pkg update
-#nano /etc/fstab
-#Add the following like below the last device (/dev):
-proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
-#Then, edit your rc.conf file:
-dbus_enable="YES"
-hald_enable="YES"
-mate_enable="YES"
-slim_enable="YES"
-#Or, add other desktops, ifconfigs, etc., such as:
-kdm4_enable="YES"
--------------------------------------------
-#Next up, changing wireless settings, adding keys, etc., etc.
--------------------------------------------
-#Add to wheel and operator groups
-#edit /etc/group
-login root
-cd /etc
-nano group
-#Once inside the editor nano, please edit the operator and wheel lines as follows:
-operator:*:5:root,<username>
-wheel:*:0:root,<username>
-#Or, edit the group file directly from the command line:
-pw group mod <username> -m <username>
--------------------------------------------
-#To update freeBSD from the command line:
-freebsd-update fetch
-freebsd-update install
-#To upgrade to a specific distribution, for example, to 9.1 from 9.0:
-freebsd-update -r 9.1-RELEASE upgrade
-freebsd-update install
-#After either updating or installing a new release:
-shutdown -r now
-#After restarting, run the update again to remove old shared libraries and objects
-freebsd-update install
