1 $NetBSD: contents,v 1.6 1998/10/21 14:32:36 minoura Exp $ 2 3The x68k-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the 4"x68k" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid 5out 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 17There is a floppy image in the "x68k/floppies" subdirectory of the 18NetBSD _VER distribution, called "boot.fs". This can be used for both 19installing NetBSD/x68k for the first time, and upgrading it from the 20previous release. 21 22The NetBSD/x68k binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 23comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the x68k. There are seven binary 24distribution sets. The binary distribution sets can be found in 25subdirectories of the "x68k/binary" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER 26distribution 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 77For other platform, there is a security distribution named "secr" 78provided. The x68k security distribution is not provided in the 79binary form. 80 81The x68k binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as 82the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set 83form a gzipped tar file. Each x68k binary distribution set also has 84its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do. 85 86The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally 87well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that 88method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That 89is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. 90replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xvfp" 91from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those 92programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced. If you 93follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be 94taken care of for you. 95
