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.
