FreeBSD desktop installer script test: quick start

FreeBSD desktop installer script test

Quick start

  1. perform a fresh installation of FreeBSD
  2. restart
  3. run the four commands below.

cd /root

fetch -o desktop https://tinyurl.com/desktop-alfix

chmod +x ./desktop

./desktop

Steps one and two are optional. If a previous installation has been somehow misconfigured, both steps may be advisable.

Eventually, the unofficial tiny URL will become redundant.
