1 $NetBSD: contents,v 1.11 1998/01/09 18:46:38 perry Exp $ 2 3The mac68k-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the 4"mac68k" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid 5out as follows: 6 7.../NetBSD-_VER/mac68k/ 8 SOURCE_DATE the date, in the default format 9 produced by the date(1) command, 10 of the source that the release was 11 built from 12 13 INSTALL these installation notes 14 15 binary/ mac68k system binaries; 16 see below. 17 18 installation/ installation helper items 19 20The NetBSD/mac68k system binaries include the NetBSD/mac68k binary 21distribution sets, additional kernels, and security-related system 22binaries. The NetBSD _VER release for the mac68k port is comprised of 23those files found in the "mac68k/binary/sets" subdirectory of the NetBSD 24_VER distribution tree. There are seven system distribution sets, two 25kernel 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 109The NetBSD/mac68k security distribution set is named "secr.tgz" and can be 110found in the "mac68k/binary/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER 111distribution tree. It contains the crypt libraries (for the DES encryption 112algorithm) and the binaries built from the "src/domestic" portion of the 113NetBSD source tree which depend on it. It can only be found on those sites 114which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that can legally obtain 115it. (Remember, because of United States law, it may not be legal to 116distribute this set to locations outside of the United States and Canada.) 117[ 779K gzipped, 2.5M uncompressed ] 118 119The 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 121incorrectly auto-unpack files ending in .gz and to accomodate systems which 122only support 3 character extensions to file names). The instructions 123given for extracting the source sets work equally well for the binary sets, 124but 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 126binaries "into" your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with them, 127you have to run the "tar xpf" from /. Also note that if you upgrade or 128install this way, those programs that you are using at the time will NOT be 129replaced. If you follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, 130this will be taken care of for you. 131 132Additional kernels to those included in the distribution sets may be found 133in the "mac68k/binary/kernels" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution 134tree. These kernels are generally named something like "netbsd-GENERIC.gz" 135or some other suitable name. Please note that these kernels are simply 136gzipped and are not in tar archives. A CKSUM file is included in this 137directory as well. 138 139The MacOS-based utilities necessary for installing and running NetBSD can 140be found in the "mac68k/installation/misc" subdirectory of the NetBSD 141_VER distribution tree. The important files in this directory are as 142follows: 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 159These files are all binhexed, self-extracting archives. If you need them, 160the sources for these utilities are in the "src" subdirectory. 161
