      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:
      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 
     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.
