-Setup OpenBSD as a daily driver using only the included, base programs. Based on OpenBSD 7.6.

-## Requirements
-
-- USB device
-- Ethernet connection (with active internet)
-- A cup of coffee
-
-The real requirements are having patience and a passion for keeping things minimal. It's important to remeber that this setup isn't the most user-friendly. There will be no config files to edit or download in this guide. We will be using the `xenodm` login manager paired with the default stacked window manager `fvwm`. And that's it.
-
-You have been warned!
-
-## Installation
-
-Make sure you have the latest OpenBSD image formatted on a USB device (or burned to a CD if that's your cup of tea!) and that your computer/laptop is set to boot from USB via the BIOS. Also make sure you are connected to the internet via ethernet cable (don't worry, we'll setup WiFi in a minute!)
-
-Boot into the device and input the following when guided through the installer:
-
-1. Boot from USB
-2. Choose `Install`
-3. Keyboard layout: `us`
-4. Hostname: `x220` (or whatever you choose)
-5. Network: `em0`
-6. IPv4: `autoconf`
-7. IPv6: `none`
-8. Network interface: `done`
-9. Password for root
-10. Start sshd by default? `yes`
-11. X Window System start with xenodm? `no`
-12. Setup user? `username` (follow setup user steps)
-13. Allow root ssh login? `no`
-14. Timezone
-15. Which disk? Use internal (`sd0` etc.)
-16. Encrypt root disk? `no`
-17. Use `WHOLE` disk
-18. Use `AUTO` layout
-19. Which disk to initialize: `done`
-20. Location of sets: `http`
-21. HTTP Proxy URL? `none`
-22. HTTP Server? `1` (Toronto)
-23. Confirm again
-24. Server directory? `pub/OpenBSD/7.6/amd64`
-25. Set names? `done`
-26. Drink some coffee while it verifies (depends on network speed)
-27. Location of sets? `done`
-28. Congrats!
-29. Reboot and remove USB device
-
-## First Boot Tweaks
-
-### User Permissions
-
-Before we do anything, we should give our main user full access via `doas`. Login as `root` and run the following:
-
- su -
- echo "permit nopass :wheel" >> /etc/doas.conf
-
-Now you can logout or reboot the machine.
-
- doas reboot
-
-Running any of the commands might present you with a permissions error. If that happens, simply add `doas` to the start of every command.
-
-### Firmware
-
-Once your machine reboots, login as your created user. The next steps will help you ensure you have the latest firmware.
-
-Simply run the command: `fw_update`
-
-
-### WiFi
-
-To enable wifi on your device, run the following command (filling in the proper details where need be)
-
- ifconfig iwn0 up
- ifconfig iwn0 scan
- echo "join WIFI-NAME wpakey PASSPHRASE" >> /etc/hostname.iwn0
- echo "dhcp" >> /etc/hostname.iwn0
- echo "inet6 autoconf" >> /etc/hostname.iwn0
- echo "up powersave" >> /etc/hostname.iwn0
- dhclient iwn0
-
-Take note of the `iwn0`, as this might differ on your machine. (You can check this by running `ifconfig`)
-
-You might also need to run `doas sh /etc/netstart` after.
-
-
-### Performance Boost
-
-This step is optional and targeted towards devices with batteries (laptops, IoT devices etc). Properly setup apmd:
-
- rcctl enable apmd
- rcctl set apmd flags -A
- rcctl start apmd
-
-## Login Manager
-
-Remember when we chose `No` when the installer asked us "X Window System start with xenodm?". Well, now we want to enable that before our next reboot:
-
- doas rcctl enable xenodm
-
-Now reboot your device again.
-
- doas reboot
-
-## The First *Real* Login
-
-## Configs
-
-Okay, I *know* I said there wouldn't be any configs included in this guide. Frankly, you should be having zero problems working with all those defaults now that you've run through this guide! BUT - I wanted to include some *very minor* configuration tweaks that might make things a little more intuitive for newcomers. Feel free to ignore these entirely!
