1 The amiga-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.0 release is found in the 2 "amiga" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is layed 3 out 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 19 There are two amiga floppy images to be found in the "amiga/floppy" 20 subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.0 distribution. One of them is a 21 bootable AmigaDOS kernel floppy and one is an installation floppy. 22 They are described in more detail below. There are gzipped versions 23 of each available, for easier downloading. (The gzipped version 24 have the ".gz" extension added to their names.) 25 26 Bootable 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 34 Installation 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 47 The NetBSD/amiga binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 48 comprise the NetBSD 1.0 release for the amiga. There are seven binary 49 distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary 50 distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "amiga/binary" 51 subdirectory 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 ] 100 101 The amiga security distribution set is named "secr10" and can be found 102 in the "amiga/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.0 distribution 103 tree. It contains crypt.c (the source file for the DES encryption 104 algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it. It can only be found 105 on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that 106 can legally obtain it. (Remember, because of United States law, this 107 distribution set may not be exported to locations outside of the 108 United States and Canada.) [ 119K gzipped, 300K uncompressed ] 109 110 The amiga binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as 111 the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set 112 form a gzipped tar file. Each amiga binary distribution set also has 113 its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do. 114 115 The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally 116 well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that 117 method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That 118 is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. 119 replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xvfp" 120 from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those 121 programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced. If you 122 follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be 123 taken care of for you. 124
