1 $NetBSD: contents,v 1.7 1998/01/09 18:46:15 perry Exp $ 2 3 The hp300-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the 4 "hp300" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid 5 out as follows: 6 7 .../NetBSD-_VER/hp300/ 8 SOURCE_DATE A file containing the date, in UTC, 9 of the source code from which the 10 release or snapshot was built, in the 11 default format produced by the command: 12 `date -u`. 13 14 INSTALL Installation notes; this file. 15 16 binary/ 17 kernel/ Suitably named, gzipped hp300 kernels; 18 see below. 19 20 security/ Security-related hp300 binaries; 21 see below. 22 23 sets/ hp300 binary distribution sets; 24 see below. 25 26 installation/ 27 miniroot/ hp300 miniroot images; see below. 28 29 misc/ Miscellaneous hp300 installation 30 helper utilities; see installation 31 section below. 32 33 The NetBSD/hp300 binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 34 comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the hp300. There are eight binary 35 distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary 36 distribution sets can be found in the "hp300/binary/sets" subdirectory of 37 the NetBSD _VER distribution tree, and are as follows: 38 39 base The NetBSD/hp300 _VER base binary distribution. 40 You MUST install this distribution set. It contains the 41 base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the 42 system to run and be minimally functional. It 43 includes shared library support, and excludes 44 everything described below. 45 [ 9.2M gzipped, 26.4M uncompressed ] 46 47 comp The NetBSD/hp300 Compiler tools. All of the tools 48 relating to C and C++. This set includes the system 49 include files (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler 50 tool chain, and the various system libraries (except 51 the shared libraries, which are included as part of the 52 base set). This set also includes the manual pages for 53 all of the utilities it contains, as well as the system 54 call and library manual pages. 55 [ 6.8M gzipped, 23.9M uncompressed ] 56 57 etc This distribution set contains the system 58 configuration files that reside in /etc and in several other 59 places. This set MUST be installed if you are installing the 60 system from scratch, but should NOT be used if you are 61 upgrading. (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that 62 you get a copy of this set and CAREFULLY upgrade your 63 configuration files by hand.) 64 [ 55K gzipped, 337K uncompressed ] 65 66 games This set includes the games and their manual pages. 67 [ 2.9M gzipped, 7.5M uncompressed ] 68 69 kern This set includes a NetBSD/hp300 _VER GENERIC kernel, 70 named "/netbsd". You MUST install this distribution set. 71 [ 547K gzipped, 1.2M uncompressed ] 72 73 man This set includes all of the manual pages for the 74 binaries and other software contained in the base set. 75 Note that it does not include any of the manual pages 76 that are included in the other sets. 77 [ 2.5M gzipped, 10.4M uncompressed ] 78 79 misc This set includes the system dictionaries (which 80 are rather large), the typesettable document set, and 81 man pages for other architectures which happen to be 82 installed from the source tree by default. 83 [ 2.2M gzipped, 8.4M uncompressed ] 84 85 text This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, 86 including groff, all related programs, and their 87 manual pages. 88 [ 1.0M gzipped, 3.4M uncompressed ] 89 90 The hp300 security distribution set is named "secr" and can be found 91 in the "hp300/binary/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution 92 tree. It contains executables which are built in the "src/domestic" portion 93 if the NetBSD source tree. It can only be found on those sites which carry 94 the complete NetBSD distribution and that can legally obtain it. (Remember, 95 because of United States law, it may not be legal to distribute this set to 96 locations outside of the United States and Canada.) 97 [ 776K gzipped, 263K uncompressed ] 98 99 Since NetBSD 1.3, binary sets for the X Window system are also 100 distributed with each NetBSD release. The binaries are based on 101 X11R6.3. Unfortunatly there is no R6.3 Xserver for NetBSD/hp300 yet, 102 so we can only distribute the X clients this time. 103 You can not yet install them using the new automated install system. 104 However, they are gzipped tarfiles, just like the other sets, so you 105 can always simply extract them once you have your NetBSD system installed 106 and running. The sets are: 107 108 xbase The basic files needed for a complete X 109 client environment. This does not include 110 the X servers. 111 [ 2.5M gzipped, 7.6M uncompressed ] 112 113 xcomp The extra libraries and include files needed 114 to compile X source code. 115 [ 1.7M gzipped, 7.1M uncompressed ] 116 117 xcontrib Programs that were contributed to X. 118 [ 183k gzipped, 686k uncompressed ] 119 120 xfont Fonts needed by X. 121 [ 5.9M gzipped, 7.3M uncompressed ] 122 123 The hp300 binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files 124 named with the extension ".tgz", e.g. "base.tgz". 125 Each hp300 binary distribution set also has its own checksum files, just 126 as the source distribution sets do. 127 128 The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally 129 well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that 130 method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That 131 is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. 132 replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xfp" 133 from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those 134 programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced unless 135 you run "tar" with the "--unlink" option. If you follow the normal 136 installation or upgrade procedures, this will be taken care of for 137 you. 138 139 The following are included in the `hp300/installation' directory: 140 141 miniroot/ 142 miniroot.fs.gz A copy of the miniroot filesystem. 143 144 misc/ 145 HP-IB.geometry A file containing geometry for some 146 HB-IB disk drives. 147 148 SYS_INST.gz A gzipped copy of the SYS_INST 149 miniroot installation program. 150 151 SYS_UBOOT.gz A gzipped copy of the universal boot 152 block. Supports Network, tape and 153 disk booting. This is useful if you 154 are installing a diskless NetBSD/hp300 155 system. 156 157 rbootd.tgz Source code for the rbootd program 158 included with NetBSD. It requires that 159 the server has a Berkeley Packet 160 Filter (bpf). You will need to 161 compile this version of rbootd if 162 server system does not have this 163 utility already. 164 165 The following are included in the `hp300/binary/kernel'directory: 166 167 netbsd.gdb.gz A gzipped GENERIC kernel with debugging 168 symbols. 169 170 netbsd.gz A gzipped GENERIC kernel. 171 172 173 Note: Each directory in the hp300 binary distribution also has its 174 ----- own checksum files, just as the source distribution does: 175 176 All BSDSUM files are historic BSD checksums for the various files 177 in that directory, in the format produced by the command: 178 cksum -o 1 <file>. 179 180 All CKSUM files are POSIX checksums for the various files in that 181 directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum <file>. 182 183 All MD5 files are MD5 digests for the various files in that 184 directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum -m <file>. 185 186 All SYSVSUM files are historic AT&T System V UNIX checksums for 187 the various files in that directory, in the format produced by 188 the command: cksum -o 2 <file>. 189 190 The MD5 digest is the safest checksum, followed by the POSIX 191 checksum. The other two checksums are provided only to ensure 192 that the widest possible range of system can check the integrity 193 of the release files. 194
