      3 Installation is currently only supported from the local Macintosh hard
      4 drive or from an AppleShare volume (however, you may upgrade a system from
      5 within NetBSD; see the section on upgrading for more details).  This means
      6 that you'll need at least enough room for the largest file that you will
      7 have to install.  This is the 8.6M base.tgz file.  There has been talk of
      8 allowing an install from split files.  If you have the time, desire, and
      9 knowledge, please feel free to add that functionality.
     10 
     11 If the install is being done from an AppleShare-mounted volume, the install
     12 utility must be in the same folder as the binary distribution sets.
     13 
     14 Each distribution file is in "raw" archive format.
     15 
     16     -	Distribution files must be downloaded in binary mode.  Common web
     17 	browsers may not be suitable for this task; FTP clients such as
     18 	Fetch and Anarchie work fine, but be sure to specify a binary file
     19 	transfer.
     20 
     21     -	The files should not be unpacked.  If you have the Internet Config
     22 	extension installed, you can disable this in the "Helpers" dialog
     23 	by removing the entry associated with ".tgz" files.  Other FTP
     24 	clients may require separate changes; consult your package's
     25 	documentation.
     26 
     27 You will also need to collect the MacOS installation tools from the
     28 "mac68k/installation/misc" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution:
     29 Mkfs, NetBSD/Mac68k Installer, and NetBSD/Mac68k Booter.  These three are
     30 in binhexed, self-extracting archives as Mkfs.sea.hqx, Installer.sea.hqx,
     31 and Booter.sea.hqx, respectively.  Extract them as you would any other
     32 Macintosh application.
