contents revision 1.3
1 The amiga-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.1 release is found in the 2 "amiga" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is layed 3 out as follows: 4 5 .../NetBSD-1.1/amiga/ 6 binary/ amiga binary distribution sets; 7 see below. 8 9 floppies/ amiga installation and upgrade 10 >>> ^^^^^^^^ should this be miniroot/? 11 file system images; see below. 12 13 security/ amiga security distribution; 14 see below; 15 16 utils/ Miscellaneous amiga 17 installation utilities; see 18 installation section, below. 19 20 There are two amiga file system images to be found in the "amiga/floppy" 21 >>> ^^^^^^ 22 subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.1 distribution. One of them is a upgrade 23 image and one is an installation image. They are described in more 24 detail below. There are gzipped versions of each available, for easier 25 downloading. (The gzipped version have the ".gz" extension added to 26 their names.) 27 28 Installation file system: 29 30 This file contains a BSD root file system setup to help 31 you install the rest of NetBSD. This includes formatting 32 and mounting your root and /usr partitions and getting 33 ready to extract (and possibly first fetching) the distribution 34 sets. There is enough on this file system to allow you to 35 make a slip or ppp connection, configure an ethernet, mount an 36 NFS file system or ftp. You can also load distribution sets from 37 a SCSI tape or from one of your existing AmigaDOS partitions. 38 39 This file is named "inst-11.fs". 40 41 42 Upgrade file system: 43 44 This file contains a BSD root file system setup to help 45 you upgrade a previous version of NetBSD. This includes 46 converting existing partitions 47 and mounting your root and /usr partitions and getting 48 ready to extract (and possibly first fetching) the distribution 49 sets. There is enough on this file system to allow you to 50 make a slip or ppp connection, configure an ethernet, mount an 51 NFS file system or ftp. You can also load distribution sets from 52 a SCSI tape, from one of your existing AmigaDOS partitions, or 53 from an existing NetBSD partition. 54 55 This file is named "inst-11.fs". 56 57 The NetBSD/amiga binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 58 comprise the NetBSD 1.1 release for the amiga. There are seven binary 59 distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary 60 distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "amiga/binary" 61 subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.1 distribution tree, and are as follows: 62 63 base11 The NetBSD/amiga 1.1 base binary distribution. You 64 MUST install this distribution set. It contains the 65 base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the 66 system to run and be minimally functional. It 67 includes shared library support, and excludes 68 everything described below. 69 [ 7M gzipped, 19M uncompressed ] 70 >>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 71 72 comp11 The NetBSD/amiga Compiler tools. All of the tools 73 relating to C, C++, and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!). 74 This set includes the system include files 75 (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain, 76 and the various system libraries (except the shared 77 libraries, which are included as part of the base 78 set). This set also includes the manual pages for all 79 of the utilities it contains, as well as the system 80 call and library manual pages. 81 [ 4M gzipped, 12M uncompressed ] 82 >>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 83 84 etc11 This distribution set contains the system 85 configuration files that reside in /etc and in several 86 other places. This set MUST be installed if you are 87 installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be 88 used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading, 89 it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and 90 CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.) 91 [ 50K gzipped, 280K uncompressed ] 92 >>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 93 94 games11 This set includes the games and their manual pages. 95 [ 1M gzipped, 3M uncompressed ] 96 >>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 97 98 man11 This set includes all of the manual pages for the 99 binaries and other software contained in the base set. 100 Note that it does not include any of the manual pages 101 that are included in the other sets. 102 [ 730K gzipped, 3M uncompressed ] 103 >>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 104 105 misc11 This set includes the system dictionaries (which are 106 rather large), the typesettable document set, and 107 man pages for other architectures which happen to be 108 installed from the source tree by default. 109 [ 2M gzipped, 6M uncompressed ] 110 >>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 111 112 text11 This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, 113 including groff, all related programs, and their 114 manual pages. 115 [ 784K gzipped, 3M uncompressed ] 116 >>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 117 118 The amiga security distribution set is named "secr11" and can be found 119 in the "amiga/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.1 distribution 120 tree. It contains crypt.c (the source file for the DES encryption 121 algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it. It can only be found 122 on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that 123 can legally obtain it. (Remember, because of United States law, this 124 distribution set may not be exported to locations outside of the 125 United States and Canada.) [ 119K gzipped, 300K uncompressed ] 126 >>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 127 128 The amiga binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as 129 the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set 130 form a gzipped tar file. Each amiga binary distribution set also has 131 its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do. 132 133 The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally 134 well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that 135 method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That 136 is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. 137 replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xvfp" 138 from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those 139 programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced. If you 140 follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be 141 taken care of for you. 142
