Here I describe the instructions I run to trac FreeBSD 8 stable, which is a bit similar to debian testing for linux users.
FreeBSD documentation is the best resource, and this post doesn’t intend to be a replacement, just a quickguide. I strongly recommend read it for further clarifications and to get a proper understanding of what you’re doing.
Basically I reboot my Thinkpad X60s with the minimum services, no tomcat, no database, no X system. You can see my rc.conf here.
OK, so now we are in front a nice old school terminal, log in as root, sync code for the base system (here you can find my supfile for csup utility), build the kernel, reboot in single user mode and install the new built base system.
FreeBSD can be seen as two different parts: the operating system, what I called base system, and the third party applications. We finished with the first part, the second one is quite similar as we get the code (sync ports) and upgrade the applications using packages when they are available.
Again I used csup and my ports supfile can be found here.
