With csup being a part of the base systems now don't install even this
because csup will nuke most of it anyway and spew a bunch or warnings.
This might be a little advanced for a complete beginner but the
following procedure seems to work well for me:
1. Install nothing except base and kernels
2. Edit your /usr/share/example/cvsup/ports-supfile and
.../standard-supfile
a. Change the default host
b. Depending on how current you are change RELENG_XXX to . in
standard-supfile
3. Run:
csup /usr/share/example/cvsup/standard-supfile
4. Depending on what version you have and what customizations you want
edit /etc/make.conf and /usr/src/sys/XXX/conf/YYY where XXX is your
arrch and YYY is the name of your custom kernel
5. Run:
make buildworld buildkernel installkernel
6. Reboot in single user mode
7. mount your partitions (read/write)
8. run:
cd /usr/src
make installworld
mergemaster
9. Reboot your machine is now the latest of what ever branch your
making for
...
For a desktop system I install the following in order:
x11/xorg
x11/gnome2
editor/gnome2-office
mail/engimail-thunderbird
multimedia/vlc
audio/rhymbox
print/cups
print/lyx
For development machines (only one):
java/jdk16
java/jdk16-doc
database/mysqlXX-client where XX is what ever version you want
www/apache-22
lang/php5
