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

10utility must be in the same folder as the data files.

12Each distribution file is in "raw" archive format, and must be downloaded
13in binary mode.  Common web browsers are not suitable for this task; FTP
14clients such as Fetch and Anarchie work fine, but be sure to specify a
15binary file transfer.

18the Internet Config extension installed,

20You will also need to collect the MacOS installation tools from the
21"mac68k/installation/misc" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution:
22Mkfs, NetBSD/Mac68k Installer, and NetBSD/Mac68k Booter.  These three are
23in binhexed, self-extracting archives as Mkfs.sea.hqx, Installer.sea.hqx,
24and Booter.sea.hqx, respectively.  Extract them as you would any other
25Macintosh application.
