      3   1.8   ender Installation is currently only supported from the local Macintosh hard
      4   1.8   ender drive or from an AppleShare volume (however, you may upgrade a system from
      5   1.8   ender within NetBSD; see the section on upgrading for more details).  This means
      6   1.8   ender that you'll need at least enough room for the largest file that you will
      7  1.11   ender have to install.  This is the 8.6M base.tgz file.  There has been talk of
      8   1.9  scottr allowing an install from split files.  If you have the time, desire, and
      9   1.8   ender knowledge, please feel free to add that functionality.

     11   1.8   ender If the install is being done from an AppleShare-mounted volume, the install
     12  1.11   ender utility must be in the same folder as the binary distribution sets.
     13   1.8   ender 
     14  1.10  scottr Each distribution file is in "raw" archive format.
     15   1.1  briggs 
     16  1.10  scottr     -	Distribution files must be downloaded in binary mode.  Common web
     17  1.10  scottr 	browsers may not be suitable for this task; FTP clients such as
     18  1.10  scottr 	Fetch and Anarchie work fine, but be sure to specify a binary file
     19  1.10  scottr 	transfer.
     20  1.10  scottr 
     21  1.10  scottr     -	The files should not be unpacked.  If you have the Internet Config
     22  1.10  scottr 	extension installed, you can disable this in the "Helpers" dialog
     23  1.10  scottr 	by removing the entry associated with ".tgz" files.  Other FTP
     24  1.10  scottr 	clients may require separate changes; consult your package's
     25  1.10  scottr 	documentation.
     26   1.9  scottr 
     27   1.8   ender You will also need to collect the MacOS installation tools from the
     28   1.8   ender "mac68k/installation/misc" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution:
     29   1.8   ender Mkfs, NetBSD/Mac68k Installer, and NetBSD/Mac68k Booter.  These three are
     30   1.8   ender in binhexed, self-extracting archives as Mkfs.sea.hqx, Installer.sea.hqx,
     31   1.9  scottr and Booter.sea.hqx, respectively.  Extract them as you would any other
     32   1.9  scottr Macintosh application.
