xfer revision 1.10 1 1.8 ender Installation is currently only supported from the local Macintosh hard
2 1.8 ender drive or from an AppleShare volume (however, you may upgrade a system from
3 1.8 ender within NetBSD; see the section on upgrading for more details). This means
4 1.8 ender that you'll need at least enough room for the largest file that you will
5 1.8 ender have to install. This is the 8.6MB base.tgz file. There has been talk of
6 1.9 scottr allowing an install from split files. If you have the time, desire, and
7 1.8 ender knowledge, please feel free to add that functionality.

9 1.8 ender If the install is being done from an AppleShare-mounted volume, the install
10 1.8 ender utility must be in the same folder as the data files.
11 1.8 ender
12 1.10 scottr Each distribution file is in "raw" archive format.
13 1.1 briggs
14 1.10 scottr - Distribution files must be downloaded in binary mode. Common web
15 1.10 scottr browsers may not be suitable for this task; FTP clients such as
16 1.10 scottr Fetch and Anarchie work fine, but be sure to specify a binary file
17 1.10 scottr transfer.
18 1.10 scottr
19 1.10 scottr - The files should not be unpacked. If you have the Internet Config
20 1.10 scottr extension installed, you can disable this in the "Helpers" dialog
21 1.10 scottr by removing the entry associated with ".tgz" files. Other FTP
22 1.10 scottr clients may require separate changes; consult your package's
23 1.10 scottr documentation.
24 1.9 scottr
25 1.8 ender You will also need to collect the MacOS installation tools from the
26 1.8 ender "mac68k/installation/misc" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution:
27 1.8 ender Mkfs, NetBSD/Mac68k Installer, and NetBSD/Mac68k Booter. These three are
28 1.8 ender in binhexed, self-extracting archives as Mkfs.sea.hqx, Installer.sea.hqx,
29 1.9 scottr and Booter.sea.hqx, respectively. Extract them as you would any other
30 1.9 scottr Macintosh application.
