1The amiga-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.0 release is found in the 2"amiga" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is layed 3out as follows: 4 5.../NetBSD-1.0/amiga/ 6 binary/ amiga binary distribution sets; 7 see below. 8 9 floppies/ amiga boot and installation 10 floppies; see below. 11 12 security/ amiga security distribution; 13 see below; 14 15 utils/ Miscellaneous amiga 16 installation utilities; see 17 installation section, below. 18 19There are two amiga floppy images to be found in the "amiga/floppy" 20subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.0 distribution. One of them is a 21bootable AmigaDOS kernel floppy and one is an installation floppy. 22They are described in more detail below. There are gzipped versions 23of each available, for easier downloading. (The gzipped version 24have the ".gz" extension added to their names.) 25 26Bootable Kernel floppy: 27 28 This AmigaDOS disk contains the loadbsd boot program and 29 the GENERIC kernel. It is setup so that you can insert it 30 int your floppy drive, reboot the system and boot netbsd. 31 32 This floppy is named boot-10.fs 33 34Installation floppy: 35 36 This disk contains a BSD root file system setup to help 37 you install the rest of NetBSD. This includes formatting 38 and mounting your root and /usr partitions and getting 39 ready to extract (and possibly first fetching) the distribution 40 sets. There is enough on this file system to allow you to 41 make a slip connection, configure an ethernet, mount an NFS 42 file system or ftp. You can also load distribution sets from 43 a SCSI tape or from one of your existing AmigaDOS partitions. 44 45 This floppy is named "inst-10.fs". 46 47The NetBSD/amiga binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 48comprise the NetBSD 1.0 release for the amiga. There are seven binary 49distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary 50distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "amiga/binary" 51subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.0 distribution tree, and are as follows: 52 53 base10 The NetBSD/amiga 1.0 base binary distribution. You 54 MUST install this distribution set. It contains the 55 base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the 56 system to run and be minimally functional. It 57 includes shared library support, and excludes 58 everything described below. 59 [ 7M gzipped, 19M uncompressed ] 60 61 comp10 The NetBSD/amiga Compiler tools. All of the tools 62 relating to C, C++, and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!). 63 This set includes the system include files 64 (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain, 65 and the various system libraries (except the shared 66 libraries, which are included as part of the base 67 set). This set also includes the manual pages for all 68 of the utilities it contains, as well as the system 69 call and library manual pages. 70 [ 4M gzipped, 12M uncompressed ] 71 72 etc10 This distribution set contains the system 73 configuration files that reside in /etc and in several 74 other places. This set MUST be installed if you are 75 installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be 76 used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading, 77 it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and 78 CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.) 79 [ 50K gzipped, 280K uncompressed ] 80 81 games10 This set includes the games and their manual pages. 82 [ 1M gzipped, 3M uncompressed ] 83 84 man10 This set includes all of the manual pages for the 85 binaries and other software contained in the base set. 86 Note that it does not include any of the manual pages 87 that are included in the other sets. 88 [ 730K gzipped, 3M uncompressed ] 89 90 misc10 This set includes the system dictionaries (which are 91 rather large), the typesettable document set, and 92 man pages for other architectures which happen to be 93 installed from the source tree by default. 94 [ 2M gzipped, 6M uncompressed ] 95 96 text10 This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, 97 including groff, all related programs, and their 98 manual pages. 99 [ 784K gzipped, 3M uncompressed ] 100 101The amiga security distribution set is named "secr10" and can be found 102in the "amiga/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.0 distribution 103tree. It contains crypt.c (the source file for the DES encryption 104algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it. It can only be found 105on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that 106can legally obtain it. (Remember, because of United States law, this 107distribution set may not be exported to locations outside of the 108United States and Canada.) [ 119K gzipped, 300K uncompressed ] 109 110The amiga binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as 111the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set 112form a gzipped tar file. Each amiga binary distribution set also has 113its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do. 114 115The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally 116well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that 117method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That 118is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. 119replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xvfp" 120from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those 121programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced. If you 122follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be 123taken care of for you. 124
