contents revision 1.4.2.1 
      1 The hp300-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the
      2 "hp300" subdirectory of the distribution.  That subdirectory is laid
      3 out as follows:
      4 
      5 .../NetBSD-_VER/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 _VER 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 _VER distribution tree, and are as follows:
     21 
     22 	base_SVER_S	The NetBSD/hp300 _VER base binary distribution.
     23 		You 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 	comp_SVER_S	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 		[ 5.1M gzipped, 16.6M uncompressed ]
     39 
     40 	etc_SVER_S	This distribution set contains the system
     41 		configuration files that reside in /etc and in several other
     42 		places. 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 		[ 67K gzipped, 360K uncompressed ]
     48 
     49 	games_SVER_S	This set includes the games and their manual pages.
     50 		[ 2.7M gzipped, 6.5M uncompressed ]
     51 
     52 	man_SVER_S	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 		[ 894K gzipped, 3.5M uncompressed ]
     57 
     58 	misc_SVER_S	This set includes the system dictionaries (which
     59 		are 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, 6.3M uncompressed ]
     63 
     64 	text_SVER_S	This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
     65 		including groff, all related programs, and their
     66 		manual pages.
     67 		[ 756K gzipped, 2.8M uncompressed ]
     68 
     69 The hp300 security distribution set is named "secr_SVER_S" and can be found
     70 in the "hp300/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution
     71 tree.  It contains executables which are built in the "src/domestic" portion
     72 if the NetBSD source tree.  It can only be found on those sites which carry
     73 the complete NetBSD distribution and that can legally obtain it.  (Remember,
     74 because of United States law, it may not be legal to distribute this set to
     75 locations outside of the United States and Canada.)
     76 [ 128K gzipped, 275K 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 	SYS_UBOOT.gz		A gzipped copy of the universal boot block.
     88 				Supports Network, tape and disk booting.
     89 				This is useful if you are installing
     90 				a diskless NetBSD/hp300 system.
     91 
     92 	miniroot-_SVER_S.fs.gz	A gzipped copy of the miniroot filesystem.
     93 
     94 	netbsd.gz		A gzipped GENERIC kernel.
     95 
     96 	rbootd.tar.gz		Source code for the rbootd(8) program,
     97 				required for netbooting an HP workstation.
     98 
     99 	HP-IB.geometry		A file containing geometry for some HP-IB
    100 				disk drives.
    101 
    102 The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally
    103 well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that
    104 method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory.  That
    105 is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e.
    106 replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the command:
    107 
    108 	tar --unlink -zxvpf set.tar.gz
    109 
    110 from /.   Note that the "--unlink" flags is very important!
    111 
    112 For best results, it is recommended that you follow the installation
    113 and/or upgrade procedures documented in this file.
