FreeBSD is a very good UNIX, I use it for almost two years, the following are some of my installation experience for advanced users.
1, FreeBSD installation disk access
We can go to the official website of FreeBSD and its mirror site to download, it is recommended to download CD-ROM mirror, suffix name is ISO, downloaded after the conditions are carved directly boot disk (in NERO, select CD-ROM mirror produced by the ; rather than directly to the ISO after extracting dragged into the folder, so can not directly boot CD), below the site has dozens of mirror, use the settings FLASHGET alternative site features download is very fast

Second, the hard disk installation
If you, for whatever reason (burning out the disc does not start, or ......), then only three clean floppy disk prepared, and one to write kern.flp, the second is used to write mfsroot.flp , the third is used to write drivers.flp (used to load various drivers).
FreeBSD extract the WIN98 or WIN2K system (primary partition must be FAT) the main points in the region, and the folder name must be freebsd. At least 1.5G of hard disk space left
c: freebsdtoolsfdimage c: freebsdfloppieskern.flp a: / / make a boot disk
And so on, mfsroot.flp, drivers.flp.
Set the BIOS, the boot sequence for the FLOPPY
Insert the floppy disk kern.flp
Insert the floppy disk mfsroot.flp
Select Load Driver
Insert the floppy disk drivers.flp
Select msdos

After installation, set
During xfree86cfg, the system will prompt you to configure the unsuccessful, is a time in the configuration, select NO, the majority of cases, your configuration is successful, continue to choose DESKTOP, suggest that you at PACAGE of KDE in their choice, KDEBASE, and other packages, do not select KDE, because after I have repeatedly tested, the package is the culprit leading to the collapse of KDE. and then write your own ". xinitrc", write
exec startkde
Then run the command line:
startx
