3 1.3.2.2 cgd The x68k-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the
4 1.1 oki "x68k" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
5 1.1 oki out as follows:

7 1.3.2.2 cgd .../NetBSD-_VER/x68k/
8 1.3.2.2 cgd INSTALL Installation notes; this file.
9 1.3.2.2 cgd
10 1.3.2.2 cgd binary/sets/ x68k binary distribution sets;
11 1.1 oki see below.
12 1.1 oki
13 1.1 oki floppies/ x68k boot and installation
14 1.3.2.2 cgd floppy; see below.
15 1.1 oki
16 1.1 oki utils/ installation utilities which
17 1.1 oki runs on Human68k.
18 1.1 oki
19 1.3.2.2 cgd There is a floppy image in the "x68k/floppies" subdirectory of the
20 1.3.2.2 cgd NetBSD _VER distribution, called "boot.fs". This can be used for both
21 1.3.2.2 cgd installing NetBSD/x68k for the first time, and upgrading it from the
22 1.3.2.2 cgd previous release. There is also gzipped version of this floppy (named
23 1.3.2.2 cgd with ".fs.gz") available.
24 1.1 oki
25 1.1 oki The NetBSD/x68k binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
26 1.3.2.2 cgd comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the x68k. There are eight binary
27 1.3.2.2 cgd distribution sets. The binary distribution sets can be found in the
28 1.3.2.2 cgd "x68k/binary/sets" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution tree,
29 1.3.2.2 cgd and are as follows:
30 1.1 oki
31 1.3.2.2 cgd base The NetBSD/x68k _VER base binary distribution. You
32 1.1 oki MUST install this distribution set. It contains the
33 1.1 oki base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the
34 1.1 oki system to run and be minimally functional. It
35 1.1 oki includes shared library support, and excludes
36 1.1 oki everything described below.
37 1.3.2.2 cgd [ 8.7M gzipped, 25.2M uncompressed ]
38 1.1 oki
39 1.3.2.2 cgd comp The NetBSD/x68k Compiler tools. All of the tools
40 1.3.2.1 mellon relating to C, C++, Objective C, and FORTRAN (yes,
41 1.3.2.1 mellon there are two, although NO FORTRAN compiler!).
42 1.1 oki This set includes the system include files
43 1.1 oki (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain,
44 1.1 oki and the various system libraries (except the shared
45 1.1 oki libraries, which are included as part of the base
46 1.1 oki set). This set also includes the manual pages for all
47 1.1 oki of the utilities it contains, as well as the system
48 1.1 oki call and library manual pages.
49 1.3.2.2 cgd [ 6.5M gzipped, 22.8M uncompressed ]
50 1.1 oki
51 1.3.2.2 cgd etc This distribution set contains the system
52 1.1 oki configuration files that reside in /etc and in several
53 1.1 oki other places. This set MUST be installed if you are
54 1.1 oki installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be
55 1.1 oki used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading,
56 1.1 oki it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and
57 1.1 oki CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.)
58 1.3.2.2 cgd [ 53K gzipped, 330K uncompressed ]
59 1.1 oki
60 1.3.2.2 cgd games This set includes the games and their manual pages.
61 1.1 oki [ 2.8M gzipped, 7.0M uncompressed ]
62 1.1 oki
63 1.3.2.2 cgd kern This set contains a NetBSD/x68k _VER ALL kernel,
64 1.3.2.2 cgd named "/netbsd". You MUST install this distribution
65 1.3.2.2 cgd set.
66 1.3.2.2 cgd [ 640K gzipped, 1.4M uncompressed ]
67 1.3.2.2 cgd
68 1.3.2.2 cgd man This set includes all of the manual pages for the
69 1.1 oki binaries and other software contained in the base set.
70 1.1 oki Note that it does not include any of the manual pages
71 1.1 oki that are included in the other sets.
72 1.3.2.2 cgd [ 2.4M gzipped, 9.8M uncompressed ]
73 1.1 oki
74 1.3.2.2 cgd misc This set includes the system dictionaries (which are
75 1.1 oki rather large), the typesettable document set, and
76 1.1 oki man pages for other architectures which happen to be
77 1.1 oki installed from the source tree by default.
78 1.3.2.2 cgd [ 2.1M gzipped, 8.2M uncompressed ]
79 1.1 oki
80 1.3.2.2 cgd text This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
81 1.1 oki including groff, all related programs, and their
82 1.1 oki manual pages.
83 1.3.2.2 cgd [ 1.0M gzipped, 3.7M uncompressed ]
84 1.3.2.2 cgd
85 1.3.2.2 cgd
86 1.3.2.2 cgd IMPORTANT: In previous versions of NetBSD, the kernel from the install
87 1.3.2.2 cgd floppy was copied onto the hard drive in a special step. In the new
88 1.3.2.2 cgd install system, the kernel on the floppy is unsuited to being copied
89 1.3.2.2 cgd onto the hard drive. Instead, a new set, "kern", has been added which
90 1.3.2.2 cgd contains a generic kernel to be unloaded onto the drive. It must be
91 1.3.2.2 cgd extracted in order to have a minimally functioning system.
92 1.1 oki
93 1.3.2.2 cgd For other platform, there is a security distribution named "secr"
94 1.3 mycroft provided. The x68k security distribution is not provided in the
95 1.1 oki binary form.
96 1.1 oki
97 1.3.2.2 cgd The x68k binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files
98 1.3.2.2 cgd named with the extension ".tgz", e.g. "base.tgz".
99 1.1 oki
100 1.1 oki The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally
101 1.1 oki well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that
102 1.1 oki method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That
103 1.1 oki is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e.
104 1.3.2.2 cgd replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xpf"
105 1.1 oki from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those
106 1.3.2.2 cgd programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced unless
107 1.3.2.2 cgd you run "tar" with the "--unlink" option. If you follow the normal
108 1.3.2.2 cgd installation or upgrade procedures, this will be taken care of for
109 1.3.2.2 cgd you.
