Installing a Distribution Set

I chose to install everything using the "All" option since I had the hard drive space. If you're concerned about space, consider the other distribution options.

The selection is made using the arrow keys to highlight the item and pressing the space bar. Make sure [OK] is highlighted and then press enter to continue.

                          Choose Distributions
 As a convenience, we provide several "canned" distribution sets. These select what we consider to be the most reasonable defaults for the type of system in question. If you would prefer to pick and choose the list of distributions yourself, simply select "Custom". You can also pick a canned distribution set and then fine-tune it with the Custom item. 

 Choose an item by pressing [SPACE]. When you are finished, choose the Exit item or press [ENTER]. 

 [ ] 1 Developer      Full sources, binaries and doc but no games 
 [ ] 2 X-Developer    Same as above, but includes the X Window system 
 [ ] 3 Kern-Developer Full binaries and doc, kernel sources only 
 [ ] 4 User           Average user - binaries and doc only 
 [ ] 5 X-User         Same as above but includes the X Window System 
 [ ] 6 Minimal        The smallest configuration possible 
 [ ] 7 Custom        Specify your own distribution set 
 [X] 8 All            All sources and binaries (incl X Window System)

     9 Clear          Reset selected distribution list to nothing 
 <<< 0 Exit      Exit this menu (returning to previous) 


                       [OK]  Cancel

                [ Press F1 for Information on these options ]

Encryption Method

                      User Confirmation Requested
 Do you wish to install DES cryptographic software? 

 If you choose No, FreeBSD will use an MD5 based password scheme which, while perhaps more secure, is not interpretable with the traditional UNIX DES passwords on other Non-FreeBSD systems. 

 Please do NOT choose Yes at this point if you are outside the United States and Canada yet are installing from a U.S. FTP server. This will violate U.S. export restrictions and possibly get the server site into trouble! In such cases, install everything but the DES distribution from the U.S. server then switch your media type to point to an international FTP server, using the Custom installation option to select and extract the DES distribution in a second pass. 

                        [ Yes ]  No 

       [ Press F1 to read the XFree86 release notes for FreeBSD ]

Although I wasn't sure, this sounded like a good idea from a compatibility standpoint and I live within the U.S., so I proceeded with it.

           Select the encryption facilities you wish to install
 Please check off the any special DES-based encryption distributions you would like to install. Please note that these services are NOT FOR EXPORT from the United States. For information on non-U.S. FTP distributions of this software, please consult the release notes. 

  [X] des       Basic DES encryption services 
  [  ] krb      Kerberos encryption services 
  [  ] sebones   Sources for eBones (Kerberos) 
  [  ] ssecure  Sources for DES 
 <<< Exit     Exit this menu (returning to previous)

Ports Collection

                  User Confirmation Requested
 Would you like to install the FreeBSD ports collection? 

 This will give you ready access to over 1000 ported software packages, though at a cost of around 35MB of disk space when "clean" and possibly much more than that if a lot of the distribution tarballs are loaded (unless you have the 4th CD from a FreeBSD CDROM distribution available and can mount it on /cdrom, in which case this is far less of a problem). 

 The ports collection is a very valuable resource and, if you have at lease 100MB to spare in your /usr partition, well worth having around. 

 For more information on the ports collection & the latest ports, visit:  http://www.freebsd.org/ports 

                        [ Yes ]  No
                              

The installation program doesn't check to see if you have adequate space. Don't select this option unless you have *plenty* of hard disk space. The ports can be added as needed later.

The install program returns to the Choose Distributions screen. You may get confused here if you don't remember to use the down arrows to select "EXIT" since the screen isn't large enough to display the entire menu.

                      Choose Distributions
 
As a convenience, we provide several "canned" distribution sets. These select what we consider to be the most reasonable defaults for the type of system in question. If you would prefer to pick and choose the list of distributions yourself, simply select "Custom". You can also pick a canned distribution set and then fine-tune it with the Custom item. 

 Choose an item by pressing [SPACE]. When you are finished, choose the Exit item or press [ENTER].

 [  ] 2 X-Developer    Same as above, but includes the X Window system 
 [  ] 3 Kern-Developer Full binaries and doc, kernel sources only

                      [OK]   Cancel

            [ Press F1 for Information on these options ]

Installation Media

                     Choose Installation Media
 FreeBSD can be installed from a variety of different installation media, ranging from floppies to an Internet FTP
 server. If you're installing FreeBSD from a supported CDROM drive then this is generally the best media to use if
 you have no overriding reason for using other media. 

   1 CDROM     Install from a FreeBSD CDROM
   2 FTP          Install from an FTP server 
   3 FTP Passive   Install from an FTP server through a firewall 
   4 DOS         Install from a DOS partition 
   5 NFS         Install over NFS 
   6 File System    Install from an existing filesystem 
   7 Floppy       Install from a floppy disk set 
   8 Tape         Install from SCSI or QIC tape 
   9 Options      Go to the Options screen 

                      [ OK ]   Cancel 

             [ Press F1 for Information on these options ]

Final Warning

                    User Confirmation Requested
  Last Chance! Are you SURE you want to continue the installation? 

 If you're running this on a disk with data you wish to save then WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO MAKE PROPER BACKUPS before proceeding! 

 We can take no responsibility for lost disk contents! 


                        [ Yes ]  No

CAUTION: This is the point of no return. Selecting "No" will allow you to exit and no changes will be made to the system. Selecting "Yes" and pressing enter will proceed with the installation.

Configure Network Devices

                    User Confirmation Requested
  Would you like to configure Ethernet or SLIP/PPP network devices? 

                          [ Yes ]  No

               Network interface information required
 If you are using PPP over a serial device, as opposed to a direct ethernet connection, then you may first need to
 dial your Internet Service Provider using the ppp utility we provide for that purpose. If you're using SLIP over a serial device then the expectation is that you have a HARDWIRED connection. 

 You can also install over a parallel port using a special "laplink" cable to another machine running a fairly recent (2.0R or later) version of FreeBSD. 

    ed1    WD/SMC 80xx; Novell NE1000/2000; 3Com 3c503 card
    lp0    Parallel Port IP (PLIP) peer connection 
    sl0    SLIP interface on device /dev/cuaa0 (COM 1)

                   User Confirmation Requested

                         [ Yes ]   No

Configure Gateway

                   User Confirmation Requested
 Will this machine be an IP gateway (e.g. will it forward packets between interfaces)? 
                       [ Yes ]   No

                              

Answer "No" here

This machine is not my gateway (192.168.0.1) machine which connects to the internet and forwards packets between other machines on the local network.

If this machine is to connect to an internet service provider, then it will need to be designated as a gateway.
