Unix Advanced [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

1.

Insert the FreeBSD 5.3 boot disc while booting.

After a few moments, FreeBSD 5.3 starts up and displays its boot menu (Figure C.1).

2.

Unless you've been having trouble booting FreeBSD, press 1 or wait for the timer to run out.

After a few moments, the sysinstall main menu is displayed (Figure C.2). The sysinstall application is FreeBSD's system-installation tool.

3.

Use the arrow keys to choose Standard from the main menu, and press Enter.

sysinstall displays a message telling you how to use the partitioning tool (Figure C.3).

4.

Read the message, then press Enter to continue.

The installer displays the FDISK Partition Editor (Figure C.4).

5.

To use the entire disk for FreeBSD, press the A key to automatically allocate a FreeBSD partition.

Press Q to exit the partition editor. The installer displays the boot-manager installation screen (Figure C.5).

6.

Choose BootMgr if FreeBSD is the only operating system installed on this system.

Choose None if you've already got a boot manager installed (such as LILO or GRUB from Linux). You'll need to add your FreeBSD installation to the existing boot manager yourself.

You now need to create BSD partitions (or slices, in BSD parlance) inside the partition you just created (Figure C.6).

7.

Read the message, then press Enter to continue.

The installer displays the FreeBSD Disklabel Editor (Figure C.7).

8.

Press A to let the installer choose some sensible defaults, then press Q to exit.

The installer displays the Choose Distributions screen (Figure C.8).

9.

We'll need a developer distribution so that we can compile programs later, and it's always good to have a graphical user interface available. Use the arrow keys to select X-Developer, then press Enter.

The installer displays a confirmation dialog (Figure C.9).

10.

The ports collection is one of FreeBSD's great strengthsmore than 10,000 programs that can be easily installed from the network whenever you need them. Select Yes with your arrow keys, then press Enter.

The installer displays the X.Org Distribution screen (Figure C.10).

11.

Luckily, the installer has already chosen the most useful parts of X. Select Exit, then press Enter to continue.

The installer returns you to the Choose Distributions screen (Figure C.11).

12.

We're done here, so select Exit, then press Enter to continue.

The installer displays the Choose Installation Media screen (Figure C.12).

1.

Remove the FreeBSD boot CD and insert the first FreeBSD installation CD.

2.

Select CD/DVD in the Choose Installation Media screen, and press Enter to continue the installation from the CD.

You could also install directly over the network using FTP, HTTP, or NFS, as well as several other kinds of media (such as tapes).

The installer displays the Last Chance! confirmation dialog (Figure C.13). Up until this point, the installer has not touched your system. No changes have been made to your hard drive, and nothing has been installed. This really is your last chance to back out of the install.

3.

If you're ready to install, make sure that Yes is selected and then press Enter to continue.

The installer creates your FreeBSD partition, formats the slices using the appropriate filesystems, and installs FreeBSD on your system (Figure C.14).

When the installer is finished, it displays a congratulations message (Figure C.15).

1.

Press Enter to begin configuring FreeBSD.

The installer displays a dialog asking if you need to install any Ethernet or PPP devices.

2.

Select Yes and press Enter to configure your Ethernet card.

The installer displays the "Network interface information required" screen (Figure C.16).

3.

Select your Ethernet card from the list and press Enter.

4.

Select No in the user confirmation dialog unless you know you need IPv6 support, then press Enter.

If you do need IPv6 support, the configuration is very similar to the IPv4 networking described here, but with the longer IP addresses.

5.

Select Yes to use DHCP to configure your network. If you're not using DHCP, select No.

6.

Press Enter to continue.

The installer displays the Network Configuration screen (Figure C.17).

7.

Do all of the following:

13.

Select No for anonymous FTP, then press Enter.

14.

Select No for acting as an NFS server, then press Enter.

15.

Select Yes for acting as an NFS client if you have NFS servers on your network; otherwise, select No. Press Enter to continue.

16.

Select No to customizing your console settings, then press Enter.

17.

Select Yes to set the machine's time zone, then press Enter.

18.

Select Yes if your machine's internal clock is set to GMT; otherwise, select No. If you don't know, select No. Press Enter to c ontinue.

19.

Use the Time Zone Selector's series of dialogs (Figure C.18) to find your current time zone. Select your region, country, and time zone, then press Enter.

20.

Select No to Linux binary compatibility, then press Enter. If we wanted to run Linux programs, we'd go back a few pages and install Fedora Core!

21.

If you have a PS/2 or serial mouse, choose to configure your mouse, then press Enter.

The installer displays the "Please configure your mouse" screen (Figure C.19).
