contents revision 1.3 
      1 The mac68k-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.1 release is found in the
      2 "mac68k" subdirectory of the distribution.  That subdirectory is laid
      3 out as follows:
      4 
      5 .../NetBSD-1.1/mac68k/
      6 			binary/		mac68k binary distribution sets;
      7 					see below.
      8 
      9 			security/	mac68k security distribution;
     10 					see below.
     11 
     12 			utils/		The mac68k installation utilities.
     13 
     14 The NetBSD/mac68k binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
     15 comprise the NetBSD 1.1 release for the mac68k.  There are eight binary
     16 distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set.  The binary
     17 distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "mac68k/binary"
     18 subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.1 distribution tree, and are as follows:
     19 
     20 	netbsd10 The NetBSD/mac68k 1.1 kernel binary.  You MUST
     21 		install this file.  It is the kernel that you need
     22 		to boot the system.
     23 		[ 307K gzipped, 610K uncompressed ]
     24 
     25 	base11	The NetBSD/mac68k 1.1 base binary distribution.  You
     26 		MUST install this distribution set.  It contains the
     27 		base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the
     28 		system to run and be minimally functional.  It
     29 		includes shared library support, and excludes
     30 		everything described below.
     31 		[ 6.2M gzipped, 18.4M uncompressed ]
     32 
     33 	comp11	The NetBSD/mac68k Compiler tools.  All of the tools
     34 		relating to C, C++, and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!).
     35 		This set includes the system include files
     36 		(/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain,
     37 		and the various system libraries (except the shared
     38 		libraries, which are included as part of the base
     39 		set).  This set also includes the manual pages for all
     40 		of the utilities it contains, as well as the system
     41 		call and library manual pages.
     42 		[ 4.0M gzipped, 12.7M uncompressed ]
     43 
     44 	etc11	This distribution set contains the system
     45 		configuration files that reside in /etc and in several
     46 		other places.  This set MUST be installed if you are
     47 		installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be
     48 		used if you are upgrading.  (If you are upgrading,
     49 		it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and
     50 		CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.)
     51 		[ 50K gzipped, 280K uncompressed ]
     52 
     53 	games11	This set includes the games and their manual pages.
     54 		[ 1.0M gzipped, 3.0M uncompressed ]
     55 
     56 	man11	This set includes all of the manual pages for the
     57 		binaries and other software contained in the base set.
     58 		Note that it does not include any of the manual pages
     59 		that are included in the other sets.
     60 		[ 0.7M gzipped, 2.8M uncompressed ]
     61 
     62 	misc11	This set includes the system dictionaries (which are
     63 		rather large), the typesettable document set, and
     64 		man pages for other architectures which happen to be
     65 		installed from the source tree by default.
     66 		[ 1.6M gzipped, 5.7M uncompressed ]
     67 
     68 	text11	This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
     69 		including groff, all related programs, and their
     70 		manual pages.
     71 		[ 0.8M gzipped, 2.9M uncompressed ]
     72 
     73 The mac68k security distribution set is named "secr11" and can be found
     74 in the "mac68k/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.1 distribution
     75 tree.  It contains the crypt libraries (for the DES encryption algorithm)
     76 and the binaries which depend on it.  It can only be found on those sites
     77 which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that can legally obtain
     78 it.  (Remember, because of United States law, this distribution set may
     79 not be exported to locations outside of the United States and Canada.)
     80 [ 109K gzipped, 260K uncompressed ]
     81 
     82 The mac68k binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as
     83 the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set
     84 form a gzipped tar file.
     85 
     86 The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally
     87 well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that
     88 method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory.  That
     89 is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e.
     90 replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xfp"
     91 from /.  Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those
     92 programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced.  If you
     93 follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be
     94 taken care of for you.
