Installing FreeBSD 6.0


Select "Yes." This step may take a little while.


Select "No." We'll do our own post-installation configuration.


Select either "Exit" or tab over to "Cancel."


Tab over to "Exit Install."


Select "Yes." Make sure to take out the install cd and your computer will reboot.


Congratulations, we've just finished the install of FreeBSD. Everytime you boot up you will be greeted with this screen. We haven't set up any users yet, so in order to login your username will be root. So type in "root" and hit 'Enter.'


Now we're logged into FreeBSD for the first time.

If you've had enough and need a break, you can type in the following command at the prompt.

shutdown -p now

When you turn your computer back on to continue, just log in as you did previously. At this point we are done with the install cd, but there are still some tasks we need to take care of before we'll have a useable system. Now let's continue to post-installation configuration.
