.\" XXX: should be in notes/common

|
|
The \*M binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files
|
|
named with the extension

e.g.
|
|
.Pa base.\*[setsuffix] .

|
|
.Pp
|
|
The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally
|
|
well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that
|
|
method, the filenames stored in the sets are relative and therefore
|
|
the files are extracted
|
|
.Em below the current directory .
|
|
Therefore, if you want to extract the binaries into your system, i.e.
|
|
replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the
|
|
.Ic "tar -xzpf"
|
|
command from the root directory (
|
|
.Pa /
|
|
) of your system.
