The amiga-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.1 release is found in the
|
|
"amiga" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is layed
|
|
out as follows:
|
|
|
|
.../NetBSD-1.1/amiga/
|
|
binary/ amiga binary distribution sets;
|
|
see below.
|
|
|
|
floppies/ amiga installation and upgrade
|
|
>>> ^^^^^^^^ should this be miniroot/?
|
|

|
|
|
|
utils/ Miscellaneous amiga
|
|
installation utilities; see
|
|
installation section, below.
|
|
|
|
There are two amiga file system images to be found in the "amiga/floppy"
|
|
>>> ^^^^^^
|
|
subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.1 distribution. One of them is a upgrade
|
|
image and one is an installation image. They are described in more
|
|
detail below. There are gzipped versions of each available, for easier
|
|
downloading. (The gzipped version have the ".gz" extension added to
|
|
their names.)
|
|
|
|
Installation file system:
|
|
|
|
This file contains a BSD root file system setup to help
|
|
you install the rest of NetBSD. This includes formatting
|
|
and mounting your root and /usr partitions and getting
|
|
ready to extract (and possibly first fetching) the distribution
|
|
sets. There is enough on this file system to allow you to
|
|
make a slip or ppp connection, configure an ethernet, mount an
|
|
NFS file system or ftp. You can also load distribution sets from
|
|
a SCSI tape or from one of your existing AmigaDOS partitions.
|
|
|
|
This file is named "inst-11.fs".
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrade file system:
|
|
|
|
This file contains a BSD root file system setup to help
|
|
you upgrade a previous version of NetBSD. This includes
|
|
converting existing partitions
|
|
and mounting your root and /usr partitions and getting
|
|
ready to extract (and possibly first fetching) the distribution
|
|
sets. There is enough on this file system to allow you to
|
|
make a slip or ppp connection, configure an ethernet, mount an
|
|
NFS file system or ftp. You can also load distribution sets from
|
|
a SCSI tape, from one of your existing AmigaDOS partitions, or
|
|
from an existing NetBSD partition.
|
|
|
|
This file is named "inst-11.fs".
|
|
|
|
The NetBSD/amiga binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
|
|
comprise the NetBSD 1.1 release for the amiga. There are seven binary
|
|
distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary
|
|
distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "amiga/binary"
|
|
subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.1 distribution tree, and are as follows:
|
|
|
|
base11 The NetBSD/amiga 1.1 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.
|
|
[ 7M gzipped, 19M uncompressed ]
|
|
>>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
comp11 The NetBSD/amiga 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.
|
|
[ 4M gzipped, 12M uncompressed ]
|
|
>>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
etc11 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.)
|
|
[ 50K gzipped, 280K uncompressed ]
|
|
>>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
games11 This set includes the games and their manual pages.
|
|
[ 1M gzipped, 3M uncompressed ]
|
|
>>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
man11 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.
|
|
[ 730K gzipped, 3M uncompressed ]
|
|
>>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
misc11 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.
|
|
[ 2M gzipped, 6M uncompressed ]
|
|
>>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
text11 This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
|
|
including groff, all related programs, and their
|
|
manual pages.
|
|
[ 784K gzipped, 3M uncompressed ]
|
|
>>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The amiga security distribution set is named "secr11" and can be found
|
|
in the "amiga/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.1 distribution
|
|
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.) [ 119K gzipped, 300K uncompressed ]

>>> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The amiga 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 amiga 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.
