      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 			binary/		x68k binary distribution sets;
      9 					see below.
     10 
     11 			floppies/	x68k boot and installation
     12 					floppy; see below.
     13 
     14 			utils/		installation utilities which
     15 					runs on Human68k.
     16 
     17 There is a floppy image in the "x68k/floppies" subdirectory of the
     18 NetBSD _VER distribution, called "boot.fs".  This can be used for both
     19 installing NetBSD/x68k for the first time, and upgrading it from the
     20 previous release.
     21 
     22 The NetBSD/x68k binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
     23 comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the x68k.  There are seven binary
     24 distribution sets.  The binary distribution sets can be found in
     25 subdirectories of the "x68k/binary" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER
     26 distribution tree, and are as follows:
     27 
     28 	base	The NetBSD/x68k _VER base binary distribution.  You
     29 		MUST install this distribution set.  It contains the
     30 		base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the
     31 		system to run and be minimally functional.  It
     32 		includes shared library support, and excludes
     33 		everything described below.
     34 		[ 8.7M gzipped, 25.2M uncompressed ]
     35 
     36 	comp	The NetBSD/x68k Compiler tools.  All of the tools
     37 		relating to C, C++, Objective C, and FORTRAN (yes,
     38 		there are two, although NO FORTRAN compiler!).
     39 		This set includes the system include files
     40 		(/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain,
     41 		and the various system libraries (except the shared
     42 		libraries, which are included as part of the base
     43 		set).  This set also includes the manual pages for all
     44 		of the utilities it contains, as well as the system
     45 		call and library manual pages.
     46 		[ 6.5M gzipped, 22.8M uncompressed ]
     47 
     48 	etc	This distribution set contains the system
     49 		configuration files that reside in /etc and in several
     50 		other places.  This set MUST be installed if you are
     51 		installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be
     52 		used if you are upgrading.  (If you are upgrading,
     53 		it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and
     54 		CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.)
     55 		[ 53K gzipped, 330K uncompressed ]
     56 
     57 	games	This set includes the games and their manual pages.
     58 		[ 2.8M gzipped, 7.0M uncompressed ]
     59 
     60 	man	This set includes all of the manual pages for the
     61 		binaries and other software contained in the base set.
     62 		Note that it does not include any of the manual pages
     63 		that are included in the other sets.
     64 		[ 2.4M gzipped, 9.8M uncompressed ]
     65 
     66 	misc	This set includes the system dictionaries (which are
     67 		rather large), the typesettable document set, and
     68 		man pages for other architectures which happen to be
     69 		installed from the source tree by default.
     70 		[ 2.1M gzipped, 8.2M uncompressed ]
     71 
     72 	text	This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
     73 		including groff, all related programs, and their
     74 		manual pages.
     75 		[ 1.0M gzipped, 3.7M uncompressed ]
     76 
     77 For other platform, there is a security distribution named "secr"
     78 provided.  The x68k security distribution is not provided in the
     79 binary form.
     80 
     81 The x68k binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as
     82 the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set
     83 form a gzipped tar file.  Each x68k binary distribution set also has
     84 its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do.
     85 
     86 The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally
     87 well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that
     88 method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory.  That
     89 is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e.
     90 replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xvfp"
     91 from /.  Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those
     92 programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced.  If you
     93 follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be
     94 taken care of for you.
