The x68k-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.2 release is found in the
|
|
"x68k" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
|
|
out as follows:
|
|
|
|
.../NetBSD-1.2/x68k/
|
|
binary/ x68k binary distribution sets;
|
|
see below.
|
|
|
|
floppies/ x68k boot and installation
|
|
floppies; see below.
|
|
|
|
utils/ installation utilities which
|
|
runs on Human68k.
|
|
|
|
There are three floppy images in the "x68k/floppies" subdirectory of
|
|
the NetBSD 1.2 distribution. One is bootable kernel-copy floppy, one
|
|
is "inst12.fs", which is used to install NetBSD/x68k for the first
|
|
time, and one is "upgr12.fs", which is used in upgrading the system
|
|
from the previous version of NetBSD/x68k.
|
|
|
|
Bootable Kernel-copy floppy:
|
|
|
|
These disks contain file systems, are bootable, and have
|
|
enough utilities on board to copy a new kernel to your hard
|
|
disk once you have it partitioned for NetBSD. They make
|
|
upgrading to a new kernel easy, because all you have to do is
|
|
get a new kernel-copy floppy with a new kernel, boot from it,
|
|
and confirm that you want to have the kernel copied to your
|
|
disk.
|
|
|
|
Installation floppy:
|
|
|
|
This disk contains the software necessary to prepare your hard
|
|
drive for NetBSD and install the NetBSD distribution. It is
|
|
not bootable, and must be used in conjunction with the kernel-
|
|
copy floppy. This floppy is named "inst12.fs".
|
|
|
|
Upgrade floppy:
|
|
|
|
This disk contains the software to be used in upgrading the
|
|
system from a previous version of NetBSD. It is not bootable,
|
|
and must be used in conjunction with the kernel-copy floppy.
|
|
This floppy is named "upgr12.fs".
|
|
|
|
The NetBSD/x68k binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
|
|
comprise the NetBSD 1.2 release for the x68k. There are seven binary
|
|
distribution sets. The binary distribution sets can be found in
|
|
subdirectories of the "x68k/binary" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.2
|
|
distribution tree, and are as follows:
|
|
|
|
base12 The NetBSD/x68k 1.2 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.
|
|
[ 7.5M gzipped, 22.8M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
comp12 The NetBSD/x68k Compiler tools. All of the tools
|
|
relating to C, C++, and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!).
|
|
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.
|
|
[ 5.3M gzipped, 17.5M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
etc12 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.)
|
|
[ 68K gzipped, 358K uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
games12 This set includes the games and their manual pages.
|
|
[ 2.8M gzipped, 7.0M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
man12 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.
|
|
[ 0.9M gzipped, 3.5M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
misc12 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.
|
|
[ 1.9M gzipped, 6.6M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
text12 This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
|
|
including groff, all related programs, and their
|
|
manual pages.
|
|
[ 0.8M gzipped, 2.9M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
For other platform, there is a security distribution named "secr12"
|
|
provided. The x68k security distribution is not provided in the
|
|
binary form.
|
|
|
|
The x68k 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 x68k binary distribution set also has
|
|
its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do.
|
|
|
|
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 xvfp"
|
|
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.
