I recently installed FreeBSD on a Dell Latitude D610 laptop (2005) and it worked directly with the default configuration.
How to install FreeBSD with a USB stick:
# copy the memstick image to the USB stick dd if=FreeBSD-13.2-RC3-i386-memstick.img of=/dev/sdb bs=1M conv=sync # boot on USB and setup partitions... # install GUI pkg install xorg pw groupmod video -m guestuser || pw groupmod wheel -m guestuser pkg install git # install and start xfce pkg install xfce echo "exec /usr/local/bin/startxfce4 --with-ck-launch" > ~/.xinitrc startx
After boot, the system takes 200MB and when XFCE is started, it take around 400MB.
