18 The NetBSD/mac68k system binaries include the NetBSD/mac68k binary
19 distribution sets, additional kernels, and security-related system
20 binaries. The NetBSD _VER release for the mac68k port is comprised of
21 those files found in the "mac68k/binary/sets" subdirectory of the NetBSD
22 _VER distribution tree. There are seven system distribution sets, two
23 kernel distribution sets, and five X distribution sets. The files in the
24 "sets" subdirectory are as follows:
25
26 CKSUMS checksums for the various files in the "sets"
27 directory, in the default format produced by the
28 cksum(1) command
29
30 base.tgz The NetBSD/mac68k _VER base binary distribution.
31 You MUST install this distribution set. It
32 contains the base NetBSD utilities that are
33 necessary for the system to run and be minimally
34 functional. It includes shared library support,
35 and excludes everything described below.
36 [ 8.6M gzipped, 25.1M uncompressed ]
37
38 comp.tgz The NetBSD/mac68k Compiler tools; all of the tools
39 relating to C and C++. This set includes the
40 system include files (/usr/include), the linker,
41 the compiler tool chain, and the various system
42 libraries (except the shared libraries, which are
43 included as part of the base set). This set also
44 includes the manual pages for all of the utilities
45 it contains, as well as the system call and library
46 manual pages.
47 [ 6.2M gzipped, 21.6M uncompressed ]
48
49 etc.tgz This distribution set contains the system
50 configuration files that reside in /etc and in
51 several other places. This set MUST be installed
52 if you are installing the system from scratch, but
53 should NOT be used if you are upgrading. (If you
54 are upgrading, it's recommended that you get a copy
55 of this set and CAREFULLY upgrade your
56 configuration files by hand.)
57 [ 49K gzipped, 288K uncompressed ]
58
59 games.tgz This set includes the games and their manual pages.
60 [ 2.8M gzipped, 7.2M uncompressed ]
61
62 kern_sbc.tgz
63 kern.tgz The NetBSD/mac68k _VER kernel binary. You MUST
64 install this file. It is the kernel that you need
65 to boot the system. If you experience SCSI-related
66 difficulties with your 68030-based system, you
67 might want to try kern_sbc.tgz instead.
68 [ 606K gzipped, 1.32M uncompressed ]
69
70 man.tgz This set includes all of the manual pages for the
71 binaries and other software contained in the base
72 set. Note that it does not include any of the
73 manual pages that are included in the other sets.
74 [ 2.2M gzipped, 8.8M uncompressed ]
75
76 misc.tgz This set includes the system dictionaries (which
77 are rather large), the typesettable document set,
78 and man pages for other architectures which happen
79 to be installed from the source tree by default.
80 [ 2.1M gzipped, 7.6M uncompressed ]
81
82 text.tgz This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
83 including groff, all related programs, and their
84 manual pages.
85 [ 1.0M gzipped, 3.7M uncompressed ]
86
87 xbase.tgz X clients, shared libraries, and related man pages.
88 Also includes bitmaps and miscellaneous
89 configuration files.
90 [ 2.34 M gzipped, 7.46M uncompressed ]
91
92 xcomp.tgz Static libraries, include files (except bitmaps),
93 X config files (for xmkmf), and related man pages.
94 [ 1.57M gzipped, 6.38M uncompressed ]
95
96 xcontrib.tgz User-contributed X binaries (e.g. xev, xload) built
97 from the X11 "contrib" sources with man pages and
98 default config files.
99 [ 178K gzipped, 661K uncompressed ]
100
101 xfont.tgz X11 fonts.
102 [ 5.66M gzipped, 6.99M uncompressed ]
103
104 xserver.tgz The Xmac68k _monochrome_ server with man pages.
105 [ 1.32M gzipped, 3.25M uncompressed ]
106
107 The NetBSD/mac68k security distribution set is named "secr.tgz" and can be
108 found in the "mac68k/binary/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER
109 distribution tree. It contains the crypt libraries (for the DES encryption
110 algorithm) and the binaries built from the "src/domestic" portion of the
111 NetBSD source tree which depend on it. It can only be found on those sites
112 which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that can legally obtain
113 it. (Remember, because of United States law, it may not be legal to
114 distribute this set to locations outside of the United States and Canada.)
115 [ 779K gzipped, 2.5M uncompressed ]
116
117 The mac68k binary distribution sets are distributed as full .tar.gz files
118 (with the extension .tgz because the software used to download the sets may
119 incorrectly auto-unpack files ending in .gz and to accomodate systems which
120 only support 3 character extensions to file names). The instructions
121 given for extracting the source sets work equally well for the binary sets,
122 but it is worth noting that if you use that method, the files are extracted
123 "below" the current directory. That is, if you want to extract the
124 binaries "into" your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with them,
125 you have to run the "tar xpf" from /. Also note that if you upgrade or
126 install this way, those programs that you are using at the time will NOT be
127 replaced. If you follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures,
128 this will be taken care of for you.
129
130 Additional kernels to those included in the distribution sets may be found
131 in the "mac68k/binary/kernels" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution
132 tree. These kernels are generally named something like "netbsd-GENERIC.gz"
133 or some other suitable name. Please note that these kernels are simply
134 gzipped and are not in tar archives. A CKSUM file is included in this
135 directory as well.
136
137 The MacOS-based utilities necessary for installing and running NetBSD can
138 be found in the "mac68k/installation/misc" subdirectory of the NetBSD
139 _VER distribution tree. The important files in this directory are as
140 follows:
141
142 Booter.sea.hqx The NetBSD/Mac68k Booter utility. This
143 program is used to boot the NetBSD kernel
144 from within MacOS.
145 [ 141 K archived ]
146
147 Installer.sea.hqx The NetBSD/Mac68k Installer utility. This
148 program is used to install the distribution
149 sets onto your NetBSD partition(s).
150 [ 147 K archived ]
151
152 Mkfs.sea.hqx The Mkfs utility. This program is used to
153 format your chosen partitions so that they
154 can be used with NetBSD.
155 [ 76 K archived ]
156
157 These files are all binhexed, self-extracting archives. If you need them,
158 the sources for these utilities are in the "src" subdirectory.
