That subdirectory is laid 5out as follows: 6 7.../NetBSD-_VER/macppc/ 8 9 INSTALL Installation notes (this file); 10 11 binary/ 12 sets/ macppc binary distribution sets; 13 see below. 14 15 security/ macppc security distribution; see below. 16 17 kernel/ Base GENERIC kernels; 18 19 installation/ 20 21 floppy/ macppc boot and installation floppies; 22 see below. 23 24The NetBSD/macppc binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 25comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the macppc. There are seven binary 26distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary 27distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "macppc/binary" 28subdirectory 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 98The macppc security distribution set is named "secr" and can be found 99in the "macppc/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution 100tree. It contains crypt.c (the source file for the DES encryption 101algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it. It can only be found 102on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that 103can legally obtain it. (Remember, because of United States law, it 104may not be legal to distribute this set to locations outside of the 105United States and Canada.) [ 127K gzipped, 337K uncompressed ] 106 107The macppc binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as 108the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set 109form a gzipped tar file. Each macppc binary distribution set also has 110its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do. The 111binary sets are "rooted" at /, that is, if you want to extract the 112binaries "into" your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with 113them, you have to run the "tar xfp" from /. 114
