      3 The macppc-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the
      4 "macppc" subdirectory of the distribution.  That subdirectory is laid
      5 out as follows:

     24 The NetBSD/macppc binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
     25 comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the macppc.  There are seven binary
     26 distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set.  The binary
     27 distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "macppc/binary"
     28 subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution tree, and are as follows:
     29 
     30 	base	The NetBSD/macppc _VER base binary distribution.  You
     31 		MUST install this distribution set.  It contains the
     32 		base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the system
     33 		to run and be minimally functional.  It includes shared
     34 		library support, and excludes everything described below.
     35 		[ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
     36 
     37 	comp	The NetBSD/macppc Compiler tools.  All of the tools
     38 		relating to C, C++, Objective C, and FORTRAN (yes, there
     39 		are two, although NO FORTRAN compiler!).  This set
     40 		includes the system include files (/usr/include), the
     41 		linker, the compiler tool chain, and the various system
     42 		libraries (except the shared libraries, which are
     43 		included as part of the base set).  This set also
     44 		includes the manual pages for all of the utilities it
     45 		contains, as well as the system call and library manual
     46 		pages.
     47 		[ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
     48 
     49 	etc	This distribution set contains the system configuration
     50 		files that reside in /etc and in several other places.
     51 		This set MUST be installed if you are installing the
     52 		system from scratch, but should NOT be used if you are
     53 		upgrading.  (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that
     54 		you get a copy of this set and CAREFULLY upgrade your
     55 		configuration files by hand.)
     56 		[ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
     57 
     58 	games	This set includes the games and their manual pages.
     59 		[ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
     60 
     61 	man	This set includes all of the manual pages for the
     62 		binaries and other software contained in the base set.
     63 		Note that it does not include any of the manual pages
     64 		that are included in the other sets.
     65 		[ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
     66 
     67 	misc	This set includes the system dictionaries (which are
     68 		rather large), the typesettable document set, and manual
     69 		pages for other architectures which happen to be
     70 		installed from the source tree by default.
     71 		[ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
     72 
     73 	text	This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
     74 		including groff, all related programs, and their
     75 		manual pages.
     76 		[ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
     77 
     78 	xbase	This set includes X11R6.3 programs, libraries and manual
     79 		pages.
     80 		[ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
     81 
     82 	xcomp	This set includes X11R6.3 header files, static libraries
     83 		and manual pages needed to compile X Window programs.
     84 		[ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
     85 
     86 	xcontrib This set is the X11R6.3 contributed software collection,
     87 		made up from programs in the contrib distribution.
     88 		[ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
     89 
     90 	xfont	This set contains the X11R6.3 fonts.
     91 		[ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
     92 
     93 	xserver	This set contains X Windows server programs and
     94 		accompanying manual pages.
     95 		[ XXX gzipped, XXX uncompressed ]
     96 
     97 
     98 The macppc security distribution set is named "secr" and can be found
     99 in the "macppc/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution
    100 tree.  It contains crypt.c (the source file for the DES encryption
    101 algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it.  It can only be found
    102 on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that
    103 can legally obtain it.  (Remember, because of United States law, it
    104 may not be legal to distribute this set to locations outside of the
    105 United States and Canada.)  [ 127K gzipped, 337K uncompressed ]
    106 
    107 The macppc binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as
    108 the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set
    109 form a gzipped tar file.  Each macppc binary distribution set also has
    110 its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do.  The
    111 binary sets are "rooted" at /, that is, if you want to extract the
    112 binaries "into" your system, i.e.  replace the system binaries with
    113 them, you have to run the "tar xfp" from /.
