By default, tcsh does support colours in FreeBSD. Dru Lavigne should has say something about you don’t have to type ‘rehash’ when you switch the shell to bash, zsh or other better one. Current, I have this in my /etc/csh.cshrc:

alias ls ls -GF

I usually use chsh for shell change.

I don’t recommend to touch sysinstall right after the installtion. sysinstall is dumb and nasty that doesn’t do the sed or whatever to replace the old configure. It rathers add dozens of same lines at the everytime when you touch sysinstall to configure networking in /etc/rc.conf.

When the newbie complains about that he has changed something in sysinstall, but it still doesn’t work because he has more than two same entry in /etc/rc.conf.

The rest in this article look good to me.
