      3 Installation is currently only supported from the local Macintosh hard
      4 drive, from a CD-ROM, or from an AppleShare volume (however, you may upgrade
      5 a system from within NetBSD; see the section on upgrading for more details).
      6 If you are installing from a local hard drive, this means that you'll need
      7 at least enough room for the largest file that you will have to install.
      8 This is the 8.6M base.tgz file.  There has been talk of allowing an install
      9 from split files.  If you have the time, desire, and knowledge, please feel
     10 free to add that functionality.
     11 
     12 If the install is being done from an AppleShare-mounted volume, the install
     13 utility must be in the same folder as the binary distribution sets.
     14 
     15 Each distribution file is in "raw" archive format.
     16 
     17     -	Distribution files must be downloaded in binary mode.  Common web
     18 	browsers may not be suitable for this task; FTP clients such as
     19 	Fetch and Anarchie work fine, but be sure to specify a binary file
     20 	transfer.
     21 
     22     -	The files should not be unpacked.  If you have the Internet Config
     23 	extension installed, you can disable this in the "Helpers" dialog
     24 	by removing the entry associated with ".tgz" files.  Other FTP
     25 	clients may require separate changes; consult your package's
     26 	documentation.
     27 
     28     -   If you are installing from a CD-ROM, the distribution sets are
     29 	already in the proper format and no special handling is required.
     30 
     31 You will also need to collect the MacOS installation tools from the
     32 "mac68k/installation/misc" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution:
     33 Mkfs, NetBSD/Mac68k Installer, and NetBSD/Mac68k Booter.  These three are
     34 in binhexed, self-extracting archives as Mkfs.sea.hqx, Installer.sea.hqx,
     35 and Booter.sea.hqx, respectively.  Extract them as you would any other
     36 Macintosh application.
