FreeSBIE is a LiveCD based on the FreeBSD Operating system, or even easier, a FreeBSD-based operating system that works directly from a CD, without touching your hard drive.
Freesbie is a great LiveCD Distribution of FreeBSD and a great choice to start learning on.
First go to www.freesbie.org and download and burn a copy of the iso with your favorite cd authoring software.
Once you get the cd reboot your computer into it. This is a LiveCD ( A live environment that can run independently on a machine without affecting any current data on the machine)
There will be several options at boot asking you things I will explain those now:
You will see a console screen saying "Welcome to Freesbie 1.1" It will give you several boot options. Usually the default is ok. It will automatically take you passed this point if you do not respond after 5 seconds.
Keyboard Menu is displayed next. This menu asks you to "Choose your Keyboard layout" depending on your origin this will change, if your in u.s.a. Choose
United States of America ISO-8859-1
FreeSBIE XFree86 Layout appears next. This menu simply asks you for your preferred keyboard layout.
us U.S.
This a good choice to be safe.
After this FreeSBIE User Interaction menu is displayed. This menu asks you to "Choose your preferred environment" This is really a personal preference, unless you are on a machine with minimal resources.
console tcsh shell
fluxbox Fluxbox (light environment)
xfce XFCE 4.2 (heavy environment)
installer Installer (to install freesbie into an hd)
I Chose Fluxbox A light-weight but powerful GUI Environment.
Another option is "installer (Install Freesbie on to a Hard Drive) This will destroy data, use a hard drive that you do not mind losing data on. If you decide to do the hard drive install as I did theres a great guide at http://www.freesbie.org/doc/1.1/manual/installing.html , It's a basic wizard that will walk you step-by-step into the install.
Now your Booted into FreeSBIE, Now what to do???
Ok so it's time to get on the internet. If you have a network with DHCP setup, this is already preconfigured and initialized on boot. If you would like to change this go to:
vi /etc/rc.conf
Make changes according to Preference. I will examine rc.conf more in depth later. If your happy with your DHCP setup , you should be well on your way to trying to surf the whole interweb.

FreeSBIE Tips and Tricks 1.1
By Default, After an install of FreeSBIE you are booted into XFCE4 although this is a nice environment I wanted something a little more lightweight.
Change Your Default Windows manager from Xfce4 to fluxbox by doing:
#vi ~/.xinitrc
xsetroot -solid black
exec startfluxbox
All you need to do in this instance is change the original line:
exec startXFCE4
Ok to Mount a CD/DVD you first need to:
#cd /
#mkdir /cdrom
#mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 cdrom/
Now simply #cd cdrom/ and you should be reading from the cd.
Ok to Mount a USB Drive you first need to:
cd /mnt/
mkdir usb
mount -t ntfs /dev/da0s1 /mnt/usb
The Previous line mounts the drive with filesystem type NTFS with a device name of da0s1 to mount point /mnt/usb
Now simply #cd /mnt/usb and you should be reading from the USB drive.
In FreeSBIE it will commonly automount your device so after inserted type mount to see a list of mounted devices, mine defaulted to /dev/da0s1 on /mnt/dos.1 (msdosfs, local)
This is for educational use only. Ok Mac Spoofing is simply manipulating your NIC Hardware Address. First you need to take the interface down. #ifconfig sis0 down , Now that the interface is down its hardware can be reconfigured. Issue #ifconfig sis0 ether 00:00:00:00:00:00 This would Zero out your Mac Address. Now that your MAC is Spoofed, you have to bring your interface back up. #ifconfig wi0 up
or use this simple macspoofscript if your lazy
