The mac68k-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the
"mac68k" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
out as follows:
.../NetBSD-_VER/mac68k/
binary/ mac68k binary distribution sets;
see below.
security/ mac68k security distribution;
see below.
X11/ mac68k X distribution sets;
see below.
utils/ The mac68k installation utilities.
The NetBSD/mac68k binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the mac68k. There are eight binary
distribution sets, the "security" distribution set, and five X distribution
sets. The binary distribution sets can be found in the "mac68k/binary"
subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution tree, and are as follows:
netbsd13 The NetBSD/mac68k _VER kernel binary. You MUST
install this file. It is the kernel that you need
to boot the system.
[ 606K gzipped, 1.32M uncompressed ]
base13 The NetBSD/mac68k _VER base binary distribution. You
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.
[ 8.6M gzipped, 25.1M uncompressed ]
comp13 The NetBSD/mac68k Compiler tools; all of the tools
relating to C and C++.
This set includes the system include files
(/usr/include), the linker, the compiler tool chain,
and the various system libraries (except the shared
libraries, which are included as part of the base
set). This set also includes the manual pages for all
of the utilities it contains, as well as the system
call and library manual pages.
[ 6.2M gzipped, 21.6M uncompressed ]
etc13 This distribution set contains the system
configuration files that reside in /etc and in several
other places. This set MUST be installed if you are
installing the system from scratch, but should NOT be
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.)
[ 49K gzipped, 288K uncompressed ]
games13 This set includes the games and their manual pages.
[ 2.8M gzipped, 7.2M uncompressed ]
man13 This set includes all of the manual pages for the
binaries and other software contained in the base set.
Note that it does not include any of the manual pages
that are included in the other sets.
[ 2.2M gzipped, 8.8M uncompressed ]
misc13 This set includes the system dictionaries (which are
rather large), the typesettable document set, and
man pages for other architectures which happen to be
installed from the source tree by default.
[ 2.1M gzipped, 7.6M uncompressed ]
text13 This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
including groff, all related programs, and their
manual pages.
[ 1.0M gzipped, 3.7M uncompressed ]
The mac68k security distribution set is named "secr13" and can be found
in the "mac68k/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution
tree. It contains the crypt libraries (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, it may not be legal to
distribute this set to locations outside of the United States and Canada.)
[ 779K gzipped, 2.5M uncompressed ]
The NetBSD _VER distribution includes a full X11 build for NetBSD/mac68k
systems. Except for some minor changes to facilitate building under
NetBSD in general, the X clients and related libraries were built "out of
the box" from an XFree86 3.3.1 tree, which in turn was based on X11R6.3.
The binaries were built on, and require, a NetBSD/mac68k _VER system. The
mac68k X distribution sets can be found in the "mac68k/X11" subdirectory
of the NetBSD _VER distribution tree, and are as follows:
xbase13 X clients, shared libraries, and related man pages.
Also includes bitmaps and miscellaneous
configuration files.
[ 2.34 M gzipped, 7.46M uncompressed ]
xserver13 The Xmac68k _monochrome_ server with man pages.
[ 1.32M gzipped, 3.25M uncompressed ]
xfont13 X fonts.
[ 5.66M gzipped, 6.99M uncompressed ]
xcomp13 Static libraries, include files (except bitmaps),
X config files (for xmkmf), and related man pages.
[ 1.57M gzipped, 6.38M uncompressed ]
xcontrib User-contributed X binaries (e.g. xev, xload) with
man pages and default config files.
[ 178K gzipped, 661K uncompressed ]
The mac68k binary distribution sets are distributed as full .tar.gz files
(without that extension). 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 files are extracted "below" the current
directory. 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.
