1 $NetBSD: contents,v 1.12 1998/01/14 06:39:52 scottr Exp $ 2 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 comprises those 23 files found in the "mac68k/binary/sets" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER 24 distribution tree. There are seven system distribution sets, two kernel 25 distribution sets, and five X distribution sets. The files in the 26 "sets" subdirectory are as follows: 27 28 base.tgz The NetBSD/mac68k _VER base binary distribution. 29 You MUST install this distribution set. It 30 contains the base NetBSD utilities that are 31 necessary for the system to run and be minimally 32 functional. It includes shared library support, 33 and excludes everything described below. 34 [ 8.6M gzipped, 25.1M uncompressed ] 35 36 comp.tgz The NetBSD/mac68k Compiler tools; all of the tools 37 relating to C and C++. This set includes the 38 system include files (/usr/include), the linker, 39 the compiler tool chain, and the various system 40 libraries (except the shared libraries, which are 41 included as part of the base set). This set also 42 includes the manual pages for all of the utilities 43 it contains, as well as the system call and library 44 manual pages. 45 [ 6.2M gzipped, 21.6M uncompressed ] 46 47 etc.tgz This distribution set contains the system 48 configuration files that reside in /etc and in 49 several other places. This set MUST be installed 50 if you are installing the system from scratch, but 51 should NOT be used if you are upgrading. (If you 52 are upgrading, it's recommended that you get a copy 53 of this set and CAREFULLY upgrade your 54 configuration files by hand.) 55 [ 49K gzipped, 288K uncompressed ] 56 57 games.tgz This set includes the games and their manual pages. 58 [ 2.8M gzipped, 7.2M uncompressed ] 59 60 kern_sbc.tgz 61 kern.tgz The NetBSD/mac68k _VER kernel binary. You MUST 62 install this file. It is the kernel that you need 63 to boot the system. If you experience SCSI-related 64 difficulties with your 68030-based system, you 65 might want to try kern_sbc.tgz instead. 66 [ 606K gzipped, 1.32M uncompressed ] 67 68 man.tgz This set includes all of the manual pages for the 69 binaries and other software contained in the base 70 set. Note that it does not include any of the 71 manual pages that are included in the other sets. 72 [ 2.2M gzipped, 8.8M uncompressed ] 73 74 misc.tgz This set includes the system dictionaries (which 75 are rather large), the typesettable document set, 76 and man pages for other architectures which happen 77 to be installed from the source tree by default. 78 [ 2.1M gzipped, 7.6M uncompressed ] 79 80 text.tgz This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, 81 including groff, all related programs, and their 82 manual pages. 83 [ 1.0M gzipped, 3.7M uncompressed ] 84 85 xbase.tgz X clients, shared libraries, and related man pages. 86 Also includes bitmaps and miscellaneous 87 configuration files. 88 [ 2.34 M gzipped, 7.46M uncompressed ] 89 90 xcomp.tgz Static libraries, include files (except bitmaps), 91 X config files (for xmkmf), and related man pages. 92 [ 1.57M gzipped, 6.38M uncompressed ] 93 94 xcontrib.tgz User-contributed X binaries (e.g. xev, xload) built 95 from the X11 "contrib" sources with man pages and 96 default config files. 97 [ 178K gzipped, 661K uncompressed ] 98 99 xfont.tgz X11 fonts. 100 [ 5.66M gzipped, 6.99M uncompressed ] 101 102 xserver.tgz The Xmac68k _monochrome_ server with man pages. 103 [ 1.32M gzipped, 3.25M uncompressed ] 104 105 The NetBSD/mac68k security distribution set is named "secr.tgz" and can be 106 found in the "mac68k/binary/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER 107 distribution tree. It contains the crypt libraries (for the DES encryption 108 algorithm) and the binaries built from the "src/domestic" portion of the 109 NetBSD source tree which depend on it. It can only be found on those sites 110 which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that can legally obtain 111 it. (Remember, because of United States law, it may not be legal to 112 distribute this set to locations outside of the United States and Canada.) 113 [ 779K gzipped, 2.5M uncompressed ] 114 115 The mac68k binary distribution sets are distributed as full .tar.gz files 116 (with the extension .tgz because the software used to download the sets may 117 incorrectly auto-unpack files ending in .gz and to accomodate systems which 118 only support 3 character extensions to file names). The instructions 119 given for extracting the source sets work equally well for the binary sets, 120 but it is worth noting that if you use that method, the files are extracted 121 "below" the current directory. That is, if you want to extract the 122 binaries "into" your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with them, 123 you have to run the "tar xpf" from /. Also note that if you upgrade or 124 install this way, those programs that you are using at the time will NOT be 125 replaced. If you follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, 126 this will be taken care of for you. 127 128 Additional kernels to those included in the distribution sets may be found 129 in the "mac68k/binary/kernels" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution 130 tree. These kernels are generally named something like "netbsd-GENERIC.gz" 131 or some other suitable name. Please note that these kernels are simply 132 gzipped and are not in tar archives. 133 134 The MacOS-based utilities necessary for installing and running NetBSD can 135 be found in the "mac68k/installation/misc" subdirectory of the NetBSD 136 _VER distribution tree. The important files in this directory are as 137 follows: 138 139 Booter.sea.hqx The NetBSD/Mac68k Booter utility. This 140 program is used to boot the NetBSD kernel 141 from within MacOS. 142 [ 141 K archived ] 143 144 Installer.sea.hqx The NetBSD/Mac68k Installer utility. This 145 program is used to install the distribution 146 sets onto your NetBSD partition(s). 147 [ 147 K archived ] 148 149 Mkfs.sea.hqx The Mkfs utility. This program is used to 150 format your chosen partitions so that they 151 can be used with NetBSD. 152 [ 76 K archived ] 153 154 These files are all binhexed, self-extracting archives. If you need them, 155 the sources for these utilities are in the "src" subdirectory. 156 157 158 Note: Each directory in the mac68k binary distribution also has its 159 ----- own checksum files, just as the source distribution does: 160 161 All BSDSUM files are historic BSD checksums for the various files 162 in that directory, in the format produced by the command: 163 cksum -o 1 <file>. 164 165 All CKSUM files are POSIX checksums for the various files in that 166 directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum <file>. 167 168 All MD5 files are MD5 digests for the various files in that 169 directory, in the format produced by the command: cksum -m <file>. 170 171 All SYSVSUM files are historic AT&T System V UNIX checksums for 172 the various files in that directory, in the format produced by 173 the command: cksum -o 2 <file>. 174 175 The MD5 digest is the safest checksum, followed by the POSIX 176 checksum. The other two checksums are provided only to ensure 177 that the widest possible range of system can check the integrity 178 of the release files. 179
