1The hp300-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the
2"hp300" subdirectory of the distribution.  That subdirectory is laid
3out 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.

16The NetBSD/hp300 binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
17comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the hp300.  There are seven binary
18distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set.  The binary
19distribution sets can be found in the "hp300/binary" subdirectory of
20the 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
69The hp300 security distribution set is named "secr_SVER_S" and can be found
70in the "hp300/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution
71tree.  It contains executables which are built in the "src/domestic" portion
72if the NetBSD source tree.  It can only be found on those sites which carry
73the complete NetBSD distribution and that can legally obtain it.  (Remember,
74because of United States law, it may not be legal to distribute this set to
75locations outside of the United States and Canada.)

77
78The hp300 binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files.
79Each hp300 binary distribution set also has its own "CKSUMS" file, just
80as the source distribution sets do.
81
82The 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
102The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally
103well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that
104method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory.  That
105is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e.
106replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the command:
107
108	tar --unlink -zxvpf set.tar.gz
109
110from /.   Note that the "--unlink" flags is very important!
111
112For best results, it is recommended that you follow the installation
113and/or upgrade procedures documented in this file.
