1 $NetBSD: contents,v 1.9 1999/01/26 15:21:17 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 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 22There is a floppy image in the "x68k/floppies" subdirectory of the 23NetBSD _VER distribution, called "boot.fs". This can be used for both 24installing NetBSD/x68k for the first time, and upgrading it from the 25previous release. There is also gzipped version of this floppy (named 26with ".fs.gz") available. 27 28The NetBSD/x68k binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 29comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the x68k. There are eight binary 30distribution sets. The binary distribution sets can be found in the 31"x68k/binary/sets" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution tree, 32and 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 106IMPORTANT: In previous versions of NetBSD, the kernel from the install 107floppy was copied onto the hard drive in a special step. In the new 108install system, the kernel on the floppy is unsuited to being copied 109onto the hard drive. Instead, a new set, "kern", has been added which 110contains a generic kernel to be unloaded onto the drive. It must be 111extracted in order to have a minimally functioning system. 112 113The x68k security distribution set is named "secr" and can be found in 114the "x68k/binary/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER 115distribution tree. It contains security related binaries which depend 116on cryptographic source code. You do not need this distribution set to 117use encrypted passwords in your password file; the "base" distribution 118includes a crypt library which can perform only the decryption 119function. The security distribution includes a version of the 120Kerberos IV network security system, and a Kerberized version of the 121"telnet" program. The "secr" distribution set can be found only on 122those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and which can 123legally obtain it. (Remember, because of United States law, it may 124not be legal to distribute this set to locations outside of the United 125States and Canada.) 126 [ 798K gzipped, 2.4M uncompressed ] 127 128The x68k binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files 129named with the extension ".tgz", e.g. "base.tgz". 130 131The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally 132well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that 133method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That 134is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. 135replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xpf" 136from /. 137
