No heavy theory here folks. If you are using these pages to set up your FreeBSD, you are using the shortcut. This means you are either truly busy or unable to comprehend man pages. Either way, you won't learn too much doing things this way, but...
Setting up TCP Wrappers (TCPD). Setup info for a
'mostly open' system. 'Mostly closed' examples are being considered.
Adding Virtual Consoles. Enable more than the stock
default of four virtual consoles.
Setting up Dynamic IJPPP. Includes stuff for -auto.
Also be sure to check out this shell script for configuring PPP
Configuring Sound under FreeBSD.

JKH wrote a nifty script for those of you who want to use cvsup without having to learn anything. This script will install cvsup and will update your /usr/src/* tree to either the 2.2.5-STABLE or 3.0-CURRENT tree.
pkg_add ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CVSup/cvsupit.tgz
For those of you who only want the kernel source for 2.2.5-STABLE, try this instead. It's not as robust as JKH's version but it will only give you what you need to build your kernel:
pkg_add ftp://flag.blackened.net/pub/freebsd/cvsup/225Skernel.tgz
