1994-10-25 09:48:14 +03:00
|
|
|
"sparc" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
|
|
|
|
|
out as follows:

The NetBSD/sparc binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
|
1995-11-30 02:51:24 +03:00
|
|
|
comprise the NetBSD RELEASE release for the sparc. There are seven binary
|
1994-10-25 09:48:14 +03:00
|
|
|
distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary
|
|
|
|
|
distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "sparc/binary"
|
1995-11-30 02:51:24 +03:00
|
|
|
subdirectory of the NetBSD RELEASE distribution tree, and are as follows:

base12 The NetBSD/sparc RELEASE base binary distribution. You
|
1994-10-25 09:48:14 +03:00
|

|
MUST install this distribution set. It contains the
|
|
|
|
|
base NetBSD utilities that are necessary for the
|
|
|
|
|
system to run and be minimally functional. It
|
|
|
|
|
includes shared library support, and excludes
|
|
|
|
|
everything described below.

used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading,

it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and

CAREFULLY upgrade your configuration files by hand.)

The sparc security distribution set is named "secr12" and can be found
|
1995-11-30 02:51:24 +03:00
|
|
|
in the "sparc/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD RELEASE distribution
|
1994-10-25 09:48:14 +03:00
|
|
|
tree. It contains crypt.c (the source file for the DES encryption
|
|
|
|
|
algorithm) and the binaries which depend on it. It can only be found
|
|
|
|
|
on those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and that
|
|
|
|
|
can legally obtain it. (Remember, because of United States law, this
|
|
|
|
|
distribution set may not be exported to locations outside of the
|
|
|
|
|
United States and Canada.) [ 127K gzipped, 337K uncompressed ]

The sparc binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as
|
|
|
|
|
the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set
|
|
|
|
|
form a gzipped tar file. Each sparc binary distribution set also has
|
|
|
|
|
its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do. The
|
|
|
|
|
binary sets are "rooted" at /, that is, if you want to extract the
|
|
|
|
|
binaries "into" your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with
|
|
|
|
|
them, you have to run the "tar xfp" from /. Also note that if you
|
|
|
|
|
upgrade or install this way, those programs that you are using at the
|
|
|
|
|
time will NOT be replaced. If you follow the normal installation or
|
|
|
|
|
upgrade procedures, this will be taken care of for you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "sparc/install" directory contains an install script, and two
|
|
|
|
|
GENERIC kernels. As well, the distribution cannot be extracted using
|
|
|
|
|
the SunOS "tar" program so SunOS statically-linked versions of gzip
|
|
|
|
|
(GNU gzip) and gtar (GNU tar) are provided.
