This step by step install is a hand written record, while the install took place. Disregard any typo's
Let me start by saying that the BSD's are very responsive & quick, so do not hit buttons rapidly. :lol:
I might, make a openBSD/ solaris/pitbull LX guide in the future, if I have the time.
openBSD & solaris/trusted solaris actually are the fastest two installs & downloads.
This freeBSD 5.1 install was executed VIA CD/DVD-ROM
And the ISO was downloaded from www.LinuxISO.org
