1 1.1.2.2 jtc The pmax-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.2 release is found in the 2 1.1.2.2 jtc "pmax" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid 3 1.1.2.2 jtc out as follows: 4 1.1.2.2 jtc 5 1.1.2.2 jtc .../NetBSD-1.2/pmax/ 6 1.1.2.2 jtc binary/ pmax binary distribution sets; 7 1.1.2.2 jtc see below. 8 1.1.2.2 jtc 9 1.1.2.2 jtc install/ a GENERIC kernel, installation 10 1.1.2.2 jtc utilities and a miniroot filesystem; 11 1.1.2.2 jtc see below. 12 1.1.2.2 jtc 13 1.1.2.2 jtc security/ pmax security distribution; 14 1.1.2.2 jtc see below. 15 1.1.2.2 jtc 16 1.1.2.2 jtc The NetBSD/pmax binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 17 1.1.2.2 jtc comprise the NetBSD 1.2 release for the pmax. There are seven binary 18 1.1.2.2 jtc distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary 19 1.1.2.2 jtc distribution sets can be found in the "pmax/binary" subdirectory of 20 1.1.2.2 jtc the NetBSD 1.2 distribution tree, and are as follows: 21 1.1.2.2 jtc 22 1.1.2.2 jtc base12 The NetBSD/pmax 1.2 base binary distribution. You 23 1.1.2.2 jtc MUST install this distribution set. It contains the 24 1.1.2.2 jtc base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the 25 1.1.2.2 jtc system to run and be minimally functional. It 26 1.1.2.2 jtc does NOT include shared library support, and excludes 27 1.1.2.2 jtc everything described below. 28 1.1.2.2 jtc [ 20.4M gzipped, 19M uncompressed ] 29 1.1.2.2 jtc 30 1.1.2.2 jtc comp12 The NetBSD/pmax Compiler tools. All of the tools 31 1.1.2.2 jtc relating to C and C++. This set includes the system 32 1.1.2.2 jtc include files (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler 33 1.1.2.2 jtc tool chain, and the various system libraries (except 34 1.1.2.2 jtc the shared libraries, which are included as part of the 35 1.1.2.2 jtc base set). This set also includes the manual pages for 36 1.1.2.2 jtc all of the utilities it contains, as well as the system 37 1.1.2.2 jtc call and library manual pages. 38 1.1.2.2 jtc [ 7.4M gzipped, 14.7M uncompressed ] 39 1.1.2.2 jtc 40 1.1.2.2 jtc etc12 This distribution set contains the system configuration 41 1.1.2.2 jtc files that reside in /etc and in several other places. 42 1.1.2.2 jtc This set MUST be installed if you are installing the 43 1.1.2.2 jtc system from scratch, but should NOT be used if you are 44 1.1.2.2 jtc upgrading. (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that 45 1.1.2.2 jtc you get a copy of this set and CAREFULLY upgrade your 46 1.1.2.2 jtc configuration files by hand.) 47 1.1.2.2 jtc [ 68K gzipped, 348K uncompressed ] 48 1.1.2.2 jtc 49 1.1.2.2 jtc games12 This set includes the games and their manual pages. 50 1.1.2.2 jtc [ 2.8M gzipped, 6.8M uncompressed ] 51 1.1.2.2 jtc 52 1.1.2.2 jtc man12 This set includes all of the manual pages for the 53 1.1.2.2 jtc binaries and other software contained in the base set. 54 1.1.2.2 jtc Note that it does not include any of the manual pages 55 1.1.2.2 jtc that are included in the other sets. 56 1.1.2.2 jtc [ 0.9M gzipped, 3.6M uncompressed ] 57 1.1.2.2 jtc 58 1.1.2.2 jtc misc12 This set includes the system dictionaries (which are 59 1.1.2.2 jtc rather large), the typesettable document set, and 60 1.1.2.2 jtc man pages for other architectures which happen to be 61 1.1.2.2 jtc installed from the source tree by default. 62 1.1.2.2 jtc [ 1.9M gzipped, 6.6M uncompressed ] 63 1.1.2.2 jtc 64 1.1.2.2 jtc text12 This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, 65 1.1.2.2 jtc including groff, all related programs, and their 66 1.1.2.2 jtc manual pages. 67 1.1.2.2 jtc [ 1.2M gzipped, 3.18M uncompressed ] 68 1.1.2.2 jtc 69 1.1.2.2 jtc The pmax distribution set does not include a security distribution. 70 1.1.2.2 jtc If you are in the US and want the security distribution you must 71 1.1.2.2 jtc get the security source distribution and recompile libcrypt.a and 72 1.1.2.2 jtc recompile the following programs: 73 1.1.2.2 jtc ed, ftpd, makekey, rexecd, uucpd, init, lock, login, passwd, 74 1.1.2.2 jtc skeyinit, su, tn3270, pppd 75 1.1.2.2 jtc 76 1.1.2.2 jtc (Remember, because of United States law, this distribution set may not 77 1.1.2.2 jtc be exported to locations outside of the United States and Canada.) 78 1.1.2.2 jtc [ 128K gzipped, 275K uncompressed ] 79 1.1.2.2 jtc 80 1.1.2.2 jtc The pmax binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files. 81 1.1.2.2 jtc Each pmax binary distribution set also has its own "CKSUMS" file, just 82 1.1.2.2 jtc as the source distribution sets do. 83 1.1.2.2 jtc 84 1.1.2.2 jtc The initial installation of NetBSD 1.2 on a Decstation not already running 85 1.1.2.2 jtc NetBSD 1.2 is supported by the following files, which are included in 86 1.1.2.2 jtc the `.../install' directory: 87 1.1.2.2 jtc 88 1.1.2.2 jtc miniroot.gz A gzipped copy of a miniroot filesystem. 89 1.1.2.2 jtc When unzipped, this is suitable for dd'ing 90 1.1.2.2 jtc onto a raw disk partition. 91 1.1.2.2 jtc 92 1.1.2.2 jtc netbsd.gz A gzipped GENERIC kernel. 93 1.1.2.2 jtc 94 1.1.2.2 jtc 95 1.1.2.2 jtc The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally 96 1.1.2.2 jtc well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that 97 1.1.2.2 jtc method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That 98 1.1.2.2 jtc is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. 99 1.1.2.2 jtc replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xvfp" 100 1.1.2.2 jtc from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those 101 1.1.2.2 jtc programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced. If you 102 1.1.2.2 jtc follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be 103 1.1.2.2 jtc taken care of for you. 104
