The hp300-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.0 release is found in the
"hp300" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is layed
out as follows:
.../NetBSD-1.0/hp300/
binary/ hp300 binary distribution sets;
see below.
install/ installation utilities and
bootstrap root filesystem
image; see below.
security/ hp300 security distribution;
see below;
The NetBSD/hp300 binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
comprise the NetBSD 1.0 release for the hp300. There are seven binary
distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary
distribution sets can be found in the "hp300/binary" subdirectory of
the NetBSD 1.0 distribution tree, and are as follows:
base10 The NetBSD/hp300 1.0 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.
[ 6.1M gzipped, 16.3M uncompressed ]
comp10 The NetBSD/hp300 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.
[ 4.1M gzipped, 12.6M uncompressed ]
etc10 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.)
[ 51K gzipped, 290K uncompressed ]
games10 This set includes the games and their manual pages.
[ 1.1M gzipped, 2.7M uncompressed ]
man10 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.
[ 752K gzipped, 2.9M uncompressed ]
misc10 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.
[ 1.6M gzipped, 5.6M uncompressed ]
text10 This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
including groff, all related programs, and their
manual pages.
[ 782K gzipped, 2.8M uncompressed ]
The hp300 security distribution set is named "secr10" and can be found
in the "hp300/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD 1.0 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, 270K uncompressed ]
The hp300 binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files.
Each hp300 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.
