Set irssi under debian to use freenode server

Very short manual on how to set up irssi to work with freenode servers.
Fist, install irssi:
sudo apt-get install irssi
Run:
irssi
For freenode write:
/connect holmes.freenode.net
Send register command for youe {nickname} and add information about your {e-mail}:
/msg nickserv register {nickname} {e-mail}
Copy and paste line, which you get from freenode registration server to your mailbox, to irssi. After that add freenode network:
/network add freenode
Add what should be automaticali send to server after connecting, remeber to correctly write your {nickname} and {password}, password will be stored in plain text:
/network add -autosendcmd '^nick {nickname};/msg nickserv identify {password}' freenode
Auto-connect everytime when irssi will be run:
/server ADD -auto -network freenode holmes.freenode.net 6667
Channel autologin:
/channel ADD -auto #debian freenode
After all we should save settings:
/save
That's all, enjoy!
