OBE Messages: freebsd post installation guide

Friday 10 August 2012

we got da FreeBSD manually setup in our virtualbox, now we want to perform post installation.

a) set root password

passwd

b) set our ethernet to use DHCP

ee /etc/rc.conf

// add the below text into rc.conf
ifconfig_em0="DHCP"

c) update freebsd

freebsd-update fetch
freebsd-update install

d) find a wm, in my case, i wanna try lxde, which is available in /usr/ports/

make
make install

echo 'exec startlxde' > ~/.xinitrc
