immediately after the installation of FreeBSD what steps should be

1 - Configuring the FreeBSD Kernel
2 - The Cutting Edge
3 - Updating FreeBSD
Is this the proper order?
I would say, first update FreeBSD src and rebuild.
Then update the ports tree
Then, if you must, configure a custom kernel - or if
nothing is critical, just skip that.
Then, install what ports you want and start running.
As for cutting edge, do you mean tracking CURRENT?
If so, if you are using it to get in on FreeBSD development, then
do that now and daily. If it is a server for something, then don't
do that. Just periodically or if some important patch comes put, pull
in the latest security fixes with update.

just to clarify

Re:both this task can be done using csup or cvsup and using the samples
provided in /usr/share/examples/cvsup/
Yup. That is what I use.
Then, if you must, configure a custom kernel
Re:(taking a look on hardware and editing generic for example)
Unless you are running something where absolute maximum performance
is critical, don't bother removing things from the kernel. Just
limit customizing to adding those things you need that are not
in by default - some drivers, maybe.
As for cutting edge, do you mean tracking CURRENT?
Re:yes, but i dont want get in on FreeBSD dev team, so i guess STABLE is
enought.
So, yup. You seem to have it.

on this page
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/kernelconfig-building.html
it says:
Tip: By default, when you build a custom kernel, all kernel modules will
be rebuilt as well. If you want to update a kernel faster or to build
only custom modules, you should edit /etc/make.conf before starting to
build the kernel:
isnt enought editing the configuration file? part of the devices listed
there use modules that do not interest me which can i delete or comment,
why the use of /etc/make.conf ?
also, its possible to automate all this pos-installation tasks in order
to get things running fast and optimized? (i know /etc/make.conf can be
used for this) but there are other methods that require spendless time?
there is some set of rules to be followed post-installation?
since, i do not find any reference mentioning the order that should be
followed immediately after installation i would like to be informed if
possible what will be the proper order to facilitate the maintenance of
the operating system and the installation of new applications without
conflicts or problems with ports.
thank you.
