contents revision 1.1.2.1 
      1 The hp300-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.1 release is found in the
      2 "hp300" subdirectory of the distribution.  That subdirectory is laid
      3 out as follows:
      4 
      5 .../NetBSD-1.1/hp300/
      6 			binary/		hp300 binary distribution sets;
      7 					see below.
      8 
      9 			install/	a GENERIC kernel, installation
     10 					utilities and a miniroot filesystem;
     11 					see below.
     12 
     13 			security/	hp300 security distribution;
     14 					see below.
     15 
     16 The NetBSD/hp300 binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
     17 comprise the NetBSD 1.1 release for the hp300.  There are seven binary
     18 distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set.  The binary
     19 distribution sets can be found in the "hp300/binary" subdirectory of
     20 the NetBSD 1.1 distribution tree, and are as follows:
     21 
     22 	base11	The NetBSD/hp300 1.1 base binary distribution.  You
     23 		MUST install this distribution set.  It contains the
     24 		base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the
     25 		system to run and be minimally functional.  It
     26 		includes shared library support, and excludes
     27 		everything described below.
     28 		[ 7.2M gzipped, 19M uncompressed ]
     29 
     30 	comp11	The NetBSD/hp300 Compiler tools.  All of the tools
     31 		relating to C and C++.  This set includes the system
     32 		include files (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler
     33 		tool chain, and the various system libraries (except
     34 		the shared libraries, which are included as part of the
     35 		base set).  This set also includes the manual pages for
     36 		all of the utilities it contains, as well as the system
     37 		call and library manual pages.
     38 		[ 4.6M gzipped, 14.7M uncompressed ]
     39 
     40 	etc11	This distribution set contains the system configuration
     41 		files that reside in /etc and in several other places.
     42 		This set MUST be installed if you are installing the
     43 		system from scratch, but should NOT be used if you are
     44 		upgrading.  (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that
     45 		you get a copy of this set and CAREFULLY upgrade your
     46 		configuration files by hand.)
     47 		[ 64K gzipped, 348K uncompressed ]
     48 
     49 	games11	This set includes the games and their manual pages.
     50 		[ 2.8M gzipped, 6.8M uncompressed ]
     51 
     52 	man11	This set includes all of the manual pages for the
     53 		binaries and other software contained in the base set.
     54 		Note that it does not include any of the manual pages
     55 		that are included in the other sets.
     56 		[ 850K gzipped, 3.3M uncompressed ]
     57 
     58 	misc11	This set includes the system dictionaries (which are
     59 		rather large), the typesettable document set, and
     60 		man pages for other architectures which happen to be
     61 		installed from the source tree by default.
     62 		[ 1.8M gzipped, 6.5M uncompressed ]
     63 
     64 	text11	This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
     65 		including groff, all related programs, and their
     66 		manual pages.
     67 		[ 770K gzipped, 2.8M uncompressed ]
     68 
     69 The hp300 security distribution set is named "secr11" and can be found
     70 in the "hp300/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.1 distribution
     71 tree.  It contains crypt.c (the source file for the DES encryption
     72 algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it.  It can only be found
     73 on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that
     74 can legally obtain it.  (Remember, because of United States law, this
     75 distribution set may not be exported to locations outside of the
     76 United States and Canada.)  [ XXXK gzipped, XXXK uncompressed ]
     77 
     78 The hp300 binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files.
     79 Each hp300 binary distribution set also has its own "CKSUMS" file, just
     80 as the source distribution sets do.
     81 
     82 The following are included in the `.../install' directory:
     83 
     84 	SYS_INST.gz	A gzipped copy of the SYS_INST miniroot
     85 			installation program.
     86 
     87 	inst-11.fs.gz	A gzipped copy of the miniroot filesystem.
     88 
     89 	netbsd.gz	A gzipped GENERIC kernel.
     90 
     91 	rbootd.tar.gz	Source code for the rbootd(8) program, required
     92 			for netbooting an HP workstation.
     93 
     94 	HP-IB.geometry	A file containing geometry for some HP-IB
     95 			disk drives.
     96 
     97 The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally
     98 well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that
     99 method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory.  That
    100 is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e.
    101 replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xvfp"
    102 from /.  Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those
    103 programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced.  If you
    104 follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be
    105 taken care of for you.
