contents revision 1.3.2.1
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 >>> ^^^^^^^^ 11 >>> should this be miniroot/? 12 file system images; see below. 13 14 security/ amiga security distribution; 15 see below; 16 17 utils/ Miscellaneous amiga 18 installation utilities; see 19 installation section, below. 20 21 There are two amiga file system images to be found in the "amiga/floppy" 22 >>> ^^^^^^ 23 >>> miniroot 24 subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.1 distribution. One of them is a upgrade 25 image and one is an installation image. They are described in more 26 detail below. There are gzipped versions of each available, for easier 27 downloading. (The gzipped version have the ".gz" extension added to 28 their names.) 29 30 Installation file system: 31 32 This file contains a BSD root file system setup to help 33 you install the rest of NetBSD. This includes formatting 34 and mounting your root and /usr partitions and getting 35 ready to extract (and possibly first fetching) the distribution 36 sets. There is enough on this file system to allow you to 37 make a slip or ppp connection, configure an ethernet, mount an 38 NFS file system or ftp. You can also load distribution sets from 39 a SCSI tape or from one of your existing AmigaDOS partitions. 40 41 This file is named "inst-11.fs". 42 43 44 Upgrade file system: 45 46 This file contains a BSD root file system setup to help 47 you upgrade a previous version of NetBSD. This includes 48 converting existing partitions and mounting your root and 49 /usr partitions and getting ready to extract (and possibly 50 first fetching) the distribution sets. There is enough on 51 this file system to allow you to make a slip or ppp connection, 52 configure an ethernet, mount an NFS file system or ftp. 53 You can also load distribution sets from a SCSI tape, from 54 one of your existing AmigaDOS partitions, or from an existing 55 NetBSD partition. 56 57 This file is named "upgr-11.fs". 58 >>> 59 >>> A single filesystem could be used - see the atari notes. The 60 >>> install script could just exit on an install, except that the 61 >>> existing fstab probably needs to be upgraded to ffs (or the instbin 62 >>> needs to include mount_ufs). The main part of the upgrade is done 63 >>> by Extract() 64 65 The NetBSD/amiga binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 66 comprise the NetBSD 1.1 release for the amiga. There are seven binary 67 distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary 68 distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "amiga/binary" 69 subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.1 distribution tree, and are as follows: 70 71 base11 The NetBSD/amiga 1.1 base binary distribution. You 72 MUST install this distribution set. It contains the 73 base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the 74 system to run and be minimally functional. It 75 includes shared library support, and excludes 76 everything described below. 77 [ 7M gzipped, 19M uncompressed ] 78 >>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 79 80 comp11 The NetBSD/amiga Compiler tools. All of the tools 81 relating to C, C++, and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!). 82 This set includes the system include files 83 (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain, 84 and the various system libraries (except the shared 85 libraries, which are included as part of the base 86 set). This set also includes the manual pages for all 87 of the utilities it contains, as well as the system 88 call and library manual pages. 89 [ 4M gzipped, 12M uncompressed ] 90 >>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 91 92 etc11 This distribution set contains the system 93 configuration files that reside in /etc and in several 94 other places. This set MUST be installed if you are 95 installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be 96 used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading, 97 it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and 98 CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.) 99 [ 50K gzipped, 280K uncompressed ] 100 >>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 101 102 games11 This set includes the games and their manual pages. 103 [ 1M gzipped, 3M uncompressed ] 104 >>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 105 106 man11 This set includes all of the manual pages for the 107 binaries and other software contained in the base set. 108 Note that it does not include any of the manual pages 109 that are included in the other sets. 110 [ 730K gzipped, 3M uncompressed ] 111 >>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 112 113 misc11 This set includes the system dictionaries (which are 114 rather large), the typesettable document set, and 115 man pages for other architectures which happen to be 116 installed from the source tree by default. 117 [ 2M gzipped, 6M uncompressed ] 118 >>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 119 120 text11 This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, 121 including groff, all related programs, and their 122 manual pages. 123 [ 784K gzipped, 3M uncompressed ] 124 >>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 125 126 The amiga security distribution set is named "secr11" and can be found 127 in the "amiga/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.1 distribution 128 tree. It contains crypt.c (the source file for the DES encryption 129 algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it. It can only be found 130 on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that 131 can legally obtain it. (Remember, because of United States law, this 132 distribution set may not be exported to locations outside of the 133 United States and Canada.) [ 119K gzipped, 300K uncompressed ] 134 >>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 135 136 The amiga binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as 137 the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set 138 form a gzipped tar file. Each amiga binary distribution set also has 139 its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do. 140 141 The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally 142 well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that 143 method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That 144 is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. 145 replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xvfp" 146 from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those 147 programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced. If you 148 follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be 149 taken care of for you. 150
