1The i386-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.0 release is found in the 2"i386" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid 3out as follows: 4 5.../NetBSD-1.0/i386/ 6 INSTALL Installation notes; this file. 7 8 binary/ i386 binary distribution sets; 9 see below. 10 11 floppies/ i386 boot and installation 12 floppies; see below. 13 14 security/ i386 security distribution; 15 see below; 16 17 utils/ Miscellaneous i386 18 installation utilities; see 19 installation section, below. 20 21There are four i386 floppy images to be found in the "i386/floppy" 22subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.0 distribution. Two of them are bootable 23kernel-copy floppies, one is an installation floppy, and one is an 24upgrade floppy. They are all described in more detail below. There 25are gzipped versions of each available, for easier downloading. (The 26gzipped versions have the ".gz" extension added to their names.) 27 28Bootable Kernel-copy floppies: 29 30 These disks contain file systems, are bootable, and have 31 enough utilities on board to copy a new kernel to your hard 32 disk once you have it partitioned for NetBSD. They make 33 upgrading to a new kernel easy, because all you have to do is 34 get a new kernel-copy floppy with a new kernel, boot from it, 35 and confirm that you want to have the kernel copied to your 36 disk. 37 38 There are two different kernel copy floppy images, 39 "kcaha-10.fs", and "kcbt-10.fs". They are identical except 40 that the first has the driver for the Adaptec 1542 SCSI host 41 adapter and does not contain the driver for the Buslogic 74x 42 SCSI host adapters, and vice-versa for the second. (All other 43 drivers are present on both disks.) 44 45Installation floppy: 46 47 This disk contains the software necessary to prepare your hard 48 drive for NetBSD and install the NetBSD distribution. It is 49 not bootable, and must be used in conjunction with one of the 50 kernel-copy floppies. This floppy is named "inst-10.fs". 51 52Upgrade floppy: 53 54 This disk contains the software to be used in upgrading the 55 system from a previous version of NetBSD. It is not bootable, 56 and must be used in conjunction with one of the kernel-copy 57 floppies. This floppy is named "upgr-10.fs" 58 59The NetBSD/i386 binary distribution sets contain the binaries which 60comprise the NetBSD 1.0 release for the i386. There are seven binary 61distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary 62distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "i386/binary" 63subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.0 distribution tree, and are as follows: 64 65 base10 The NetBSD/i386 1.0 base binary distribution. You 66 MUST install this distribution set. It contains the 67 base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the 68 system to run and be minimally functional. It 69 includes shared library support, and excludes 70 everything described below. 71 [ 6.2M gzipped, 16.7M uncompressed ] 72 73 comp10 The NetBSD/i386 Compiler tools. All of the tools 74 relating to C, C++, and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!). 75 This set includes the system include files 76 (/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain, 77 and the various system libraries (except the shared 78 libraries, which are included as part of the base 79 set). This set also includes the manual pages for all 80 of the utilities it contains, as well as the system 81 call and library manual pages. 82 [ 4.2M gzipped, 12.9M uncompressed ] 83 84 etc10 This distribution set contains the system 85 configuration files that reside in /etc and in several 86 other places. This set MUST be installed if you are 87 installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be 88 used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading, 89 it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and 90 CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.) 91 [ 50K gzipped, 263K uncompressed ] 92 93 games10 This set includes the games and their manual pages. 94 [ 1.0M gzipped, 2.7M uncompressed ] 95 96 man10 This set includes all of the manual pages for the 97 binaries and other software contained in the base set. 98 Note that it does not include any of the manual pages 99 that are included in the other sets. 100 [ 0.7M gzipped, 2.8M uncompressed ] 101 102 misc10 This set includes the system dictionaries (which are 103 rather large), the typesettable document set, and 104 man pages for other architectures which happen to be 105 installed from the source tree by default. 106 [ 1.6M gzipped, 5.6M uncompressed ] 107 108 text10 This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools, 109 including groff, all related programs, and their 110 manual pages. 111 [ 0.8M gzipped, 2.8M uncompressed ] 112 113The i386 security distribution set is named "secr10" and can be found 114in the "i386/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.0 distribution 115tree. It contains crypt.c (the source file for the DES encryption 116algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it. It can only be found 117on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that 118can legally obtain it. (Remember, because of United States law, this 119distribution set may not be exported to locations outside of the 120United States and Canada.) [ 114K gzipped, 253K uncompressed ] 121 122The i386 binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as 123the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set 124form a gzipped tar file. Each i386 binary distribution set also has 125its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do. 126 127The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally 128well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that 129method, the files are extracted "below" the current directory. That 130is, if you want to extract the binaries "into" your system, i.e. 131replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the "tar xfp" 132from /. Also note that if you upgrade or install this way, those 133programs that you are using at the time will NOT be replaced. If you 134follow the normal installation or upgrade procedures, this will be 135taken care of for you. 136
