Posted on November 17, 2016

Is there a tutorial on installing FreeBSD 11 on a droplet. There is an enticing tutorial on setting up SmokePing…just would like to follow a tutorial on setting up FreeBSD initially.

As far as installing, there is no need to. We provide a pre-built FreeBSD 11 image. On the droplet creation page, just select FreeBSD. The option defaults to 11.0

@ryanpq …Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question… I understand the purpose for using a pre-built image. My request was if there was a tutorial for setting up FreeBSD…Not a problem…I need to get back to the basics of reading the distro documentation anyways…

Have a wonderful day and thanks again for taking your time to respond to my question…
