2 1.6.2.5 mycroft
3 1.6.2.2 mellon Installation is currently only supported from the local Macintosh hard
4 1.6.2.5 mycroft drive, from a CD-ROM, or from an AppleShare volume (however, you may upgrade
5 1.6.2.5 mycroft a system from within NetBSD; see the section on upgrading for more details).
6 1.6.2.5 mycroft If you are installing from a local hard drive, this means that you'll need
7 1.6.2.5 mycroft at least enough room for the largest file that you will have to install.
8 1.6.2.5 mycroft This is the 8.6M base.tgz file. There has been talk of allowing an install
9 1.6.2.5 mycroft from split files. If you have the time, desire, and knowledge, please feel
10 1.6.2.5 mycroft free to add that functionality.

12 1.6.2.2 mellon If the install is being done from an AppleShare-mounted volume, the install
13 1.6.2.4 thorpej utility must be in the same folder as the binary distribution sets.
14 1.6.2.2 mellon
15 1.6.2.3 mellon Each distribution file is in "raw" archive format.
16 1.6.2.3 mellon
17 1.6.2.3 mellon - Distribution files must be downloaded in binary mode. Common web
18 1.6.2.3 mellon browsers may not be suitable for this task; FTP clients such as
19 1.6.2.3 mellon Fetch and Anarchie work fine, but be sure to specify a binary file
20 1.6.2.3 mellon transfer.
21 1.6.2.3 mellon
22 1.6.2.3 mellon - The files should not be unpacked. If you have the Internet Config
23 1.6.2.3 mellon extension installed, you can disable this in the "Helpers" dialog
24 1.6.2.3 mellon by removing the entry associated with ".tgz" files. Other FTP
25 1.6.2.3 mellon clients may require separate changes; consult your package's
26 1.6.2.3 mellon documentation.
27 1.6.2.5 mycroft
28 1.6.2.5 mycroft - If you are installing from a CD-ROM, the distribution sets are
29 1.6.2.5 mycroft already in the proper format and no special handling is required.

31 1.6.2.2 mellon You will also need to collect the MacOS installation tools from the
32 1.6.2.2 mellon "mac68k/installation/misc" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution:
33 1.6.2.2 mellon Mkfs, NetBSD/Mac68k Installer, and NetBSD/Mac68k Booter. These three are
34 1.6.2.2 mellon in binhexed, self-extracting archives as Mkfs.sea.hqx, Installer.sea.hqx,
35 1.6.2.3 mellon and Booter.sea.hqx, respectively. Extract them as you would any other
36 1.6.2.3 mellon Macintosh application.
