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 SOURCE_DATE A file containing the date, in UTC, 7 of the source code from which the 8 release or snapshot was built, in the 9 default format produced by the command: 10 `date -u`. 11 12 INSTALL Installation notes; this file. 13 14 binary/ 15 kernel/ Suitably named, gzipped hp300 kernels; 16 see below. 17 18 security/ Security-related hp300 binaries; 19 see below. 20 21 sets/ hp300 binary distribution sets; 22 see below. 23 24 installation/ 25 miniroot/ hp300 miniroot images; see below. 26 27 misc/ Miscellaneous hp300 installation 28 helper utilities; see installation 29 section below. 30 31 The NetBSD/hp300 binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 32 comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the hp300. There are eight binary 33 distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary 34 distribution sets can be found in the "hp300/binary/sets" subdirectory of 35 the NetBSD _VER distribution tree, and are as follows: 36 37 base The NetBSD/hp300 _VER base binary distribution. 38 You MUST install this distribution set. It contains the 39 base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the 40 system to run and be minimally functional. It 41 includes shared library support, and excludes 42 everything described below. 43 [ 9.2M gzipped, 26.4M uncompressed ] 44 45 comp The NetBSD/hp300 Compiler tools. All of the tools 46 relating to C and C++. This set includes the system 47 include files (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler 48 tool chain, and the various system libraries (except 49 the shared libraries, which are included as part of the 50 base set). This set also includes the manual pages for 51 all of the utilities it contains, as well as the system 52 call and library manual pages. 53 [ 6.8M gzipped, 23.9M uncompressed ] 54 55 etc This distribution set contains the system 56 configuration files that reside in /etc and in several other 57 places. This set MUST be installed if you are installing the 58 system from scratch, but should NOT be used if you are 59 upgrading. (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that 60 you get a copy of this set and CAREFULLY upgrade your 61 configuration files by hand.) 62 [ 55K gzipped, 337K uncompressed ] 63 64 games This set includes the games and their manual pages. 65 [ 2.9M gzipped, 7.5M uncompressed ] 66 67 kern This set includes a NetBSD/hp300 _VER GENERIC kernel, 68 named "/netbsd". You MUST install this distribution set. 69 [ 547K gzipped, 1.2M uncompressed ] 70 71 man This set includes all of the manual pages for the 72 binaries and other software contained in the base set. 73 Note that it does not include any of the manual pages 74 that are included in the other sets. 75 [ 2.5M gzipped, 10.4M uncompressed ] 76 77 misc This set includes the system dictionaries (which 78 are rather large), the typesettable document set, and 79 man pages for other architectures which happen to be 80 installed from the source tree by default. 81 [ 2.2M gzipped, 8.4M uncompressed ] 82 83 text This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, 84 including groff, all related programs, and their 85 manual pages. 86 [ 1.0M gzipped, 3.4M uncompressed ] 87 88 The hp300 security distribution set is named "secr" and can be found 89 in the "hp300/binary/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution 90 tree. It contains executables which are built in the "src/domestic" portion 91 if the NetBSD source tree. It can only be found on those sites which carry 92 the complete NetBSD distribution and that can legally obtain it. (Remember, 93 because of United States law, it may not be legal to distribute this set to 94 locations outside of the United States and Canada.) 95 [ 776K gzipped, 263K uncompressed ] 96 97 Since NetBSD 1.3, binary sets for the X Window system are also 98 distributed with each NetBSD release. The binaries are based on 99 X11R6.3. Unfortunatly there is no R6.3 Xserver for NetBSD/hp300 yet, 100 so we can only distribute the X clients this time. 101 You can not yet install them using the new automated install system. 102 However, they are gzipped tarfiles, just like the other sets, so you 103 can always simply extract them once you have your NetBSD system installed 104 and running. The sets are: 105 106 xbase The basic files needed for a complete X 107 client environment. This does not include 108 the X servers. 109 [ 2.5M gzipped, 7.6M uncompressed ] 110 111 xcomp The extra libraries and include files needed 112 to compile X source code. 113 [ 1.7M gzipped, 7.1M uncompressed ] 114 115 xcontrib Programs that were contributed to X. 116 [ 183k gzipped, 686k uncompressed ] 117 118 xfont Fonts needed by X. 119 [ 5.9M gzipped, 7.3M uncompressed ] 120 121 The hp300 binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files 122 named with the extension ".tgz", e.g. "base.tgz". 123 Each hp300 binary distribution set also has its own checksum files, just 124 as the source distribution sets do. 125 126 The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally 127 well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that 128 method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That 129 is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. 130 replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xfp" 131 from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those 132 programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced unless 133 you run "tar" with the "--unlink" option. If you follow the normal 134 installation or upgrade procedures, this will be taken care of for 135 you. 136 137 The following are included in the `hp300/installation' directory: 138 139 miniroot/ 140 miniroot.fs.gz A copy of the miniroot filesystem. 141 142 misc/ 143 HP-IB.geometry A file containing geometry for some 144 HB-IB disk drives. 145 146 SYS_INST.gz A gzipped copy of the SYS_INST 147 miniroot installation program. 148 149 SYS_UBOOT.gz A gzipped copy of the universal boot 150 block. Supports Network, tape and 151 disk booting. This is useful if you 152 are installing a diskless NetBSD/hp300 153 system. 154 155 rbootd.tgz Source code for the rbootd program 156 included with NetBSD. It requires that 157 the server has a Berkeley Packet 158 Filter (bpf). You will need to 159 compile this version of rbootd if 160 server system does not have this 161 utility already. 162 163 The following are included in the `hp300/binary/kernel'directory: 164 165 netbsd.gdb.gz A gzipped GENERIC kernel with debugging 166 symbols. 167 168 netbsd.gz A gzipped GENERIC kernel. 169 170 171 Note: Each directory in the hp300 binary distribution also has its 172 ----- own checksum files, just as the source distribution does: 173 174 All BSDSUM files are historic BSD checksums for the various files 175 in that directory, in the format produced by the command: 176 cksum -o 1 <file>. 177 178 All CKSUM files are POSIX checksums for the various files in that 179 directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum <file>. 180 181 All MD5 files are MD5 digests for the various files in that 182 directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum -m <file>. 183 184 All SYSVSUM files are historic AT&T System V UNIX checksums for 185 the various files in that directory, in the format produced by 186 the command: cksum -o 2 <file>. 187 188 The MD5 digest is the safest checksum, followed by the POSIX 189 checksum. The other two checksums are provided only to ensure 190 that the widest possible range of system can check the integrity 191 of the release files. 192
