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.
