1The amiga-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.1 release is found in the
2"amiga" subdirectory of the distribution.  That subdirectory is layed
3out as follows:

6			binary/		amiga binary distribution sets;
7					see below.

9			floppies/	amiga installation and upgrade

20There are two amiga file system images to be found in the "amiga/floppy"

22subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.1 distribution.  One of them is a upgrade
23image and one is an installation image. They are described in more
24detail below.  There are gzipped versions of each available, for easier
25downloading.  (The gzipped version have the ".gz" extension added to
26their names.)

28Installation 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
42Upgrade 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
57The NetBSD/amiga binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
58comprise the NetBSD 1.1 release for the amiga.  There are seven binary
59distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set.  The binary
60distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "amiga/binary"
61subdirectory 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
118The amiga security distribution set is named "secr11" and can be found
119in the "amiga/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.1 distribution
120tree.  It contains crypt.c (the source file for the DES encryption
121algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it.  It can only be found
122on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that
123can legally obtain it.  (Remember, because of United States law, this
124distribution set may not be exported to locations outside of the
125United States and Canada.)  [ 119K gzipped, 300K uncompressed ]

127
128The amiga binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as
129the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set
130form a gzipped tar file.  Each amiga binary distribution set also has
131its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do.
132
133The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally
134well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that
135method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory.  That
136is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e.
137replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xvfp"
138from /.  Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those
139programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced.  If you
140follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be
141taken care of for you.
