The installation of this network management server utilises the Internet installation process to install files. This helps keep the installed files to a minimal base to keep things clean. Unneeded files and services are not installed.

Floppy disks are required to be created in order to use the Internet installation process.

The server is to host the following applications:
1.SSHD
2.SMTP
3.Apache + PHP (LDAP, FTP and socket enabled)
4.MYSQL
5.NAGIOS
6.MRTG
7.Groupwise Internet Access web interface
8.Tomcat
9.JDK
10.Cricket
11.DNS
12.Webalizer

Creating Boot Floppies
ftp://ftp5.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.9-RC2/floppies

Get
 kern.flp and mfsroot.flp

then go here also
ftp://ftp5.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/tools

and get
fdimage.exe

fdimage.exe -v kern.flp a:

Installation Instructions (Internet Install)
Note: It is possible that the install will fail without reason when retrieving files from the FTP Server - fdisk /mbr as well as remove the part from dos to clear the parts entirely from the HDD before doing the next attempt at installing.

When they are both done [making the floppy disks], insert kern.flp into drive and boot
[very few people install this way, they don't even know you can, and it saves many MB of bandwidth and is more configurable]

you'll end up at "kernel Configuration Menu" screen
select full screen visual [2nd choice]
now hit x
do you have any SCSI devices? [no]
use the arrow keys and move down and delete the SCSI devices
then hit tab key to move to second field
highlight ed0
hit enter [it will become active]
hit q
then yes
[it will continue to boot]
[If Error about “Failed to Load Module if_fwe.ko” occurs – ignore]

pick 'standard'
hit ok
lets just let fbsd do it auto style for now, see if you are ok with its partition idea [HDD Partition]
so up arrow
and d to delete partition
d them all
it will tell you you cant if you cant
just up arrow 
till it allows
until there is only one listed as unused
then hit 'a'
hit 'q'
k
[lets do the boot manager]
so, select bootmgr
hit ok again
press A again
[check partition sizes – manually make if your not ok with them]
hit Q
[now we are at another GUI]
are you going to run x on this box? or any GUI? [no = server]
then use arrow keys and go down to developer
hit space
now it asks about ports collection
select yes
scroll up to exit
hit enter
now we are at install type GUI?
cd/dvd ftp and such?
[are you behind firewall?] [No… but you can change things around for ftp access from here and return to the main setup config menu by pressing CTRL-C]
[ok try ftp first.. we might use passive if this doesn't work]
pick your country to get files [Try to use an NZ server if possible!!!]
hit enter
[now you see NIC]
now it asks if you want ipv6
say no
ok dhcp say yes [if this fails try with static IP info]
now you are at a screen with Host Domain IPv4 Gateway and such?

Pressing CTL-C can restart the install.
Had to use Passive FTP and DHCP.

After it has installed ensure you set root password etc.

reboot... take out cable when you get to the prompt.
Login as root

vi /etc/rc.conf and set these in rc.conf
moused_enable="NO"
sendmail_enable="NO"
sshd_enable="NO"
usbd_enable="YES"
inetd_enable="YES"

cd /usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui
make && make depend && make install && make clean [as one line?  yes ]

update kernel

run /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb
try: locate standard-supfile
copy that file to /tmp/
vi it and look for this line
*default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org
change to
*default host=cvsup5.FreeBSD.org
next, look for this:
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_8
set to *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4
then find this:
src-all
and below it add
docs-all tag=.
ports-all tag=.

[make sure you have the . at the end =.]
save and exit  [:w  :q]
[run cvsup]
cvsup -i -L 2 /tmp/standard-supfile


If you've set a 'SecureLevel' then you must set it to 'NO' in /etc/rc.conf before next step.

# shutdown now
# fsck -p (errors, ok, still thinking about this, continue, no changes)

# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/mergemaster
# ./mergemaster.sh -p

we really need to build a kernel now
reboot & login as root

# cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
# cp GENERIC X
# vi X
edit file to drop shit you don't need from the kernel configuration
save file and run
# cd /usr/src
# make buildkernel KERNCONF=X
# make installkernel KERNCONF=X
# reboot

login as root

uname -a
does your X kernel show in the path?
root@vaio.anchorageak.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/X  i386
like that

if so looks like we have a system up

edit /etc/rc.conf
uncomment sshd or ensure its set to YES
add sendmail_enable="NO"
reboot if you want to enable sshd
