      3 The x68k-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the
      4 "x68k" subdirectory of the distribution.  That subdirectory is laid
      5 out as follows:
      6 
      7 .../NetBSD-_VER/x68k/
      8 			INSTALL		Installation notes; this file.
      9 
     10 			binary/sets/	x68k binary distribution sets;
     11 					see below.
     12 
     13 			security/	x68k security distribution;
     14 					see below;
     15 
     16 			floppies/	x68k boot and installation
     17 					floppy; see below.
     18 
     19 			utils/		installation utilities which
     20 					runs on Human68k.
     21 
     22 There is a floppy image in the "x68k/floppies" subdirectory of the
     23 NetBSD _VER distribution, called "boot.fs".  This can be used for both
     24 installing NetBSD/x68k for the first time, and upgrading it from the
     25 previous release.  There is also gzipped version of this floppy (named
     26 with ".fs.gz") available.
     27 
     28 The NetBSD/x68k binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
     29 comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the x68k.  There are eight binary
     30 distribution sets.  The binary distribution sets can be found in the
     31 "x68k/binary/sets" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution tree,
     32 and are as follows:
     33 
     34 	base	The NetBSD/x68k _VER base binary distribution.  You
     35 		MUST install this distribution set.  It contains the
     36 		base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the
     37 		system to run and be minimally functional.  It
     38 		includes shared library support, and excludes
     39 		everything described below.
     40 		[ 8.7M gzipped, 25.2M uncompressed ]
     41 
     42 	comp	The NetBSD/x68k Compiler tools.  All of the tools
     43 		relating to C, C++, Objective C, and FORTRAN (yes,
     44 		there are two, although NO FORTRAN compiler!).
     45 		This set includes the system include files
     46 		(/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain,
     47 		and the various system libraries (except the shared
     48 		libraries, which are included as part of the base
     49 		set).  This set also includes the manual pages for all
     50 		of the utilities it contains, as well as the system
     51 		call and library manual pages.
     52 		[ 6.5M gzipped, 22.8M uncompressed ]
     53 
     54 	etc	This distribution set contains the system
     55 		configuration files that reside in /etc and in several
     56 		other places.  This set MUST be installed if you are
     57 		installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be
     58 		used if you are upgrading.  (If you are upgrading,
     59 		it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and
     60 		CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.)
     61 		[ 53K gzipped, 330K uncompressed ]
     62 
     63 	games	This set includes the games and their manual pages.
     64 		[ 2.8M gzipped, 7.0M uncompressed ]
     65 
     66 	kern	This set contains a NetBSD/x68k _VER ALL kernel,
     67 		named "/netbsd". You MUST install this distribution
     68 		set.
     69 		[ 640K gzipped, 1.4M uncompressed ]
     70 
     71 	man	This set includes all of the manual pages for the
     72 		binaries and other software contained in the base set.
     73 		Note that it does not include any of the manual pages
     74 		that are included in the other sets.
     75 		[ 2.4M gzipped, 9.8M uncompressed ]
     76 
     77 	misc	This set includes the system dictionaries (which are
     78 		rather large), the typesettable document set, and
     79 		man pages for other architectures which happen to be
     80 		installed from the source tree by default.
     81 		[ 2.1M gzipped, 8.2M uncompressed ]
     82 
     83 	text	This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
     84 		including groff, all related programs, and their
     85 		manual pages.
     86 		[ 1.0M gzipped, 3.7M uncompressed ]
     87 
     88 	xbase	The basic files needed for a complete X
     89 		client environment. This does not include
     90 		the X servers.
     91 		[ 2.4M gzipped, 7.4M uncompressed ]
     92 
     93 	xcomp	The extra libraries and include files needed
     94 		to compile X source code.
     95 		[ 1.6M gzipped, 6.7M uncompressed ]
     96 
     97 	xcontrib	Programs that were contributed to X.
     98 		[ 178k gzipped, 670k uncompressed ]
     99 
    100 	xfont	Fonts needed by X.
    101 		[ 5.7M gzipped, 7M uncompressed ]
    102 
    103 	xserver	x68k X servers.
    104 		[ 1.4M gzipped, 3.3M unzipped ]
    105 
    106 IMPORTANT: In previous versions of NetBSD, the kernel from the install
    107 floppy was copied onto the hard drive in a special step. In the new
    108 install system, the kernel on the floppy is unsuited to being copied
    109 onto the hard drive. Instead, a new set, "kern", has been added which
    110 contains a generic kernel to be unloaded onto the drive. It must be
    111 extracted in order to have a minimally functioning system.
    112 
    113 The x68k security distribution set is named "secr" and can be found in
    114 the "x68k/binary/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER
    115 distribution tree.  It contains security related binaries which depend
    116 on cryptographic source code. You do not need this distribution set to
    117 use encrypted passwords in your password file; the "base" distribution
    118 includes a crypt library which can perform only the decryption
    119 function.  The security distribution includes a version of the
    120 Kerberos IV network security system, and a Kerberized version of the
    121 "telnet" program.  The "secr" distribution set can be found only on
    122 those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and which can
    123 legally obtain it.  (Remember, because of United States law, it may
    124 not be legal to distribute this set to locations outside of the United
    125 States and Canada.)
    126 	[ 798K gzipped, 2.4M uncompressed ]
    127 
    128 The x68k binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files
    129 named with the extension ".tgz", e.g. "base.tgz".
    130 
    131 The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally
    132 well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that
    133 method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory.  That
    134 is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e.
    135 replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xpf"
    136 from /.  Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those
    137 programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced unless
    138 you run "tar" with the "--unlink" option.  If you follow the normal
    139 installation or upgrade procedures, this will be taken care of for
    140 you.
