3 The mac68k-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the
4 "mac68k" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
5 out as follows:

8 SOURCE_DATE the date, in the default format

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