1 1.3.2.1 mellon The pmax-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the 2 1.1 jonathan "pmax" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid 3 1.1 jonathan out as follows: 4 1.1 jonathan 5 1.3.2.1 mellon .../NetBSD-_VER/pmax/ 6 1.3.2.2 perry binary/ pmax binary distribution sets 7 1.3.2.2 perry and kernel images; 8 1.1 jonathan see below. 9 1.1 jonathan 10 1.3.2.2 perry installation/ installation materials: 11 1.3.2.2 perry disk images of a complete root 12 1.3.2.2 perry filesystem, for both network and 13 1.3.2.2 perry diskful installation; see below. 14 1.1 jonathan 15 1.3.2.2 perry misc/ miscellaneous binaries including 16 1.3.2.2 perry a copy of the sysinst instalation tool. 17 1.1 jonathan 18 1.1 jonathan The NetBSD/pmax binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 19 1.3.2.2 perry comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the pmax. There are eight binary 20 1.3.2.2 perry distribution sets, plus optional X11 sets. The binary distribution 21 1.3.2.2 perry sets can be found in the "pmax/binary/sets" subdirectory of the NetBSD 22 1.3.2.2 perry _VER distribution tree, and are as follows: 23 1.1 jonathan 24 1.3.2.2 perry base The NetBSD/pmax _VER base binary distribution. You 25 1.1 jonathan MUST install this distribution set. It contains the 26 1.1 jonathan base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the 27 1.1 jonathan system to run and be minimally functional. It 28 1.1 jonathan does NOT include shared library support, and excludes 29 1.1 jonathan everything described below. 30 1.3.2.2 perry [ 11.6M gzipped ] 31 1.1 jonathan 32 1.3.2.2 perry comp The NetBSD/pmax Compiler tools. All of the tools 33 1.1 jonathan relating to C and C++. This set includes the system 34 1.1 jonathan include files (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler 35 1.1 jonathan tool chain, and the various system libraries (except 36 1.1 jonathan the shared libraries, which are included as part of the 37 1.1 jonathan base set). This set also includes the manual pages for 38 1.1 jonathan all of the utilities it contains, as well as the system 39 1.1 jonathan call and library manual pages. 40 1.3.2.2 perry [ 10.9M gzipped ] 41 1.1 jonathan 42 1.3.2.2 perry etc This distribution set contains the system configuration 43 1.1 jonathan files that reside in /etc and in several other places. 44 1.1 jonathan This set MUST be installed if you are installing the 45 1.1 jonathan system from scratch, but should NOT be used if you are 46 1.1 jonathan upgrading. (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that 47 1.1 jonathan you get a copy of this set and CAREFULLY upgrade your 48 1.1 jonathan configuration files by hand.) 49 1.3.2.2 perry [ 53K gzipped ] 50 1.3.2.2 perry 51 1.3.2.2 perry games This set includes the games and their manual pages. 52 1.3.2.2 perry [ 3.0M gzipped ] 53 1.1 jonathan 54 1.3.2.2 perry kern This set is a placeholder for bootable kernels. 55 1.1 jonathan 56 1.3.2.2 perry man This set includes all of the manual pages for the 57 1.1 jonathan binaries and other software contained in the base set. 58 1.1 jonathan Note that it does not include any of the manual pages 59 1.1 jonathan that are included in the other sets. 60 1.3.2.2 perry [ 2.6M gzipped ] 61 1.1 jonathan 62 1.3.2.2 perry misc This set includes the system dictionaries (which are 63 1.1 jonathan rather large), the typesettable document set, and 64 1.1 jonathan man pages for other architectures which happen to be 65 1.1 jonathan installed from the source tree by default. 66 1.3.2.2 perry [ 1.9M gzipped, 8.3M uncompressed ] 67 1.1 jonathan 68 1.3.2.2 perry text This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, 69 1.1 jonathan including groff, all related programs, and their 70 1.1 jonathan manual pages. 71 1.3.2.2 perry [ 1.1M gzipped, 3.7M uncompressed ] 72 1.3.2.2 perry 73 1.3.2.2 perry 74 1.3.2.2 perry 75 1.3.2.2 perry 76 1.3.2.2 perry The pmax security distribution set is named "secr" and can be found in 77 1.3.2.2 perry the "pmax/binary/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER 78 1.3.2.2 perry distribution tree. It contains security related binaries which depend 79 1.3.2.2 perry on cryptographic source code. You do not need this distribution set to 80 1.3.2.2 perry use encrypted passwords in your password file; the "base" distribution 81 1.3.2.2 perry includes a crypt library which can perform only the decryption 82 1.3.2.2 perry function. The security distribution includes a version of the 83 1.3.2.2 perry Kerberos IV network security system, and a Kerberized version of the 84 1.3.2.2 perry "telnet" program. The "secr" distribution set can be found only on 85 1.3.2.2 perry those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and which can 86 1.3.2.2 perry legally obtain it. (Remember, because of United States law, it may 87 1.3.2.2 perry not be legal to distribute this set to locations outside of the United 88 1.3.2.2 perry States and Canada.) 89 1.3.2.2 perry 90 1.3.2.2 perry At the time of release, the pmax distribution set does not include a 91 1.3.2.2 perry security distribution. A binary will be built shortly after the 92 1.3.2.2 perry release by a US permanent resident. In the meantime, if you are in the 93 1.3.2.2 perry US or Canada and want the security distribution you must get the 94 1.3.2.2 perry security source distribution and recompile libcrypt.a and recompile 95 1.3.2.2 perry the following programs: 96 1.1 jonathan 97 1.1 jonathan ed, ftpd, makekey, rexecd, uucpd, init, lock, login, passwd, 98 1.1 jonathan skeyinit, su, tn3270, pppd 99 1.1 jonathan 100 1.3.2.2 perry 101 1.3.2.2 perry 102 1.3.2.2 perry 103 1.3.2.2 perry Since NetBSD 1.3, binary sets for the X Window system are also 104 1.3.2.2 perry distributed with each NetBSD release. The binaries are based on 105 1.3.2.2 perry X11R6.3 and can be installed using the 'sysinst' utility. 106 1.3.2.2 perry 107 1.3.2.2 perry 108 1.3.2.2 perry xbase The basic files needed for a complete X 109 1.3.2.2 perry client environment.

When unzipped, this is 149 1.3.2.2 perry suitable for setting up an NFS server for diskless 150 1.3.2.2 perry boot or installing via netboot. 151 1.3.2.2 perry 152 1.3.2.2 perry Distribution kernel images (e.g., for installalling on Ultrix) are 153 1.3.2.2 perry also available separately in the ./binary/kernel subdirectory: 154 1.3.2.2 perry 155 1.3.2.2 perry netbsd.aout An a.out-format generic kernel, bootable on an 156 1.3.2.2 perry existing NetBSD system. 157 1.3.2.2 perry 158 1.3.2.2 perry netbsd.ecoff An ECOFF-format kernel, suitable for diskless boot 159 1.3.2.2 perry via TFTP or for upgrading from Ultrix. 160 1.3.2.2 perry 161 1.3.2.2 perry 162 1.3.2.2 perry nfsnetbsd.ecoff An minimal ECOFF-format kernel, minimized to 163 1.3.2.2 perry boot on bugggy PROMs that cannot boot kernels 164 1.3.2.2 perry larger than ~1 Mbyte. 165 1.1 jonathan 166 1.1 jonathan 167 1.1 jonathan The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally 168 1.1 jonathan well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that 169 1.1 jonathan method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That 170 1.1 jonathan is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. 171 1.1 jonathan replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xvfp" 172 1.1 jonathan from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those 173 1.1 jonathan programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced. If you 174 1.1 jonathan follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be 175 1.1 jonathan taken care of for you. 176
