The pmax-specific portion of the NetBSD _VER release is found in the
|
|
"pmax" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
|
|
out as follows:
|
|
|
|
.../NetBSD-_VER/pmax/
|
|
binary/ pmax binary distribution sets
|
|
and kernel images;
|
|
see below.
|
|
|
|
installation/ installation materials:
|
|
disk images of a complete root
|
|
filesystem, for both network and
|
|
diskful installation; see below.
|
|
|
|
misc/ miscellaneous binaries including
|
|
a copy of the sysinst instalation tool.
|
|
|
|
The NetBSD/pmax binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
|
|
comprise the NetBSD _VER release for the pmax. There are eight binary
|
|
distribution sets, plus optional X11 sets. The binary distribution
|
|
sets can be found in the "pmax/binary/sets" subdirectory of the NetBSD
|
|
_VER distribution tree, and are as follows:
|
|
|
|
base The NetBSD/pmax _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
|
|
does NOT include shared library support, and excludes
|
|
everything described below.
|
|
[ 11.6M gzipped ]
|
|
|
|
comp The NetBSD/pmax 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.
|
|
[ 10.9M gzipped ]
|
|
|
|
etc 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.)
|
|
[ 53K gzipped ]
|
|
|
|
games This set includes the games and their manual pages.
|
|
[ 3.0M gzipped ]
|
|
|
|
kern This set is a placeholder for bootable kernels.
|
|
|
|
man 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.
|
|
[ 2.6M gzipped ]
|
|
|
|
misc 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, 8.3M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
text This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
|
|
including groff, all related programs, and their
|
|
manual pages.
|
|
[ 1.1M gzipped, 3.7M uncompressed ]

|
The pmax security distribution set is named "secr" and can be found in
|
|
the "pmax/binary/security" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER
|
|
distribution tree. It contains security related binaries which depend
|
|
on cryptographic source code. You do not need this distribution set to
|
|
use encrypted passwords in your password file; the "base" distribution
|
|
includes a crypt library which can perform only the decryption
|
|
function. The security distribution includes a version of the
|
|
Kerberos IV network security system, and a Kerberized version of the
|
|
"telnet" program. The "secr" distribution set can be found only on
|
|
those sites which carry the complete NetBSD distribution and which 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.)
|
|
|
|
At the time of release, the pmax distribution set does not include a
|
|
security distribution. A binary will be built shortly after the
|
|
release by a US permanent resident. In the meantime, if you are in the
|
|
US or Canada and want the security distribution you must get the
|
|
security source distribution and recompile libcrypt.a and recompile
|
|
the following programs:
|
|
|
|
ed, ftpd, makekey, rexecd, uucpd, init, lock, login, passwd,
|
|
skeyinit, su, tn3270, pppd
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since NetBSD 1.3, binary sets for the X Window system are also
|
|
distributed with each NetBSD release. The binaries are based on
|
|
X11R6.3 and can be installed using the 'sysinst' utility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
xbase The basic files needed for a complete X
|
|
client environment. This does not include
|
|
the X servers.
|
|
[ 3.25M gzipped ]
|
|
|
|
xcomp The extra libraries and include files needed
|
|
to compile X source code.
|
|
[ 2.1M gzipped, 7.3M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
xcontrib Programs that were contributed to X.
|
|
[ 216 gzipped ]
|
|
|
|
xfont Fonts needed by X.
|
|
[ 5.8M gzipped, 7M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
xserver X servers built from X11R5, supporting the 4.3bsd-derived
|
|
Xserver/framebuffer protocol used in NetBSD/pmax.
|
|
See the /usr/X11R6/bin/README.pmax file in this set for
|
|
more information on conifguring the X11 R5 servers to
|
|
work with X11R6 clients and with compressed fonts.

The pmax binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files.
|
|
Each pmax binary distribution set also has its own "CKSUMS" file, just
|
|
as the source distribution sets do.
|
|
|
|
The initial installation of NetBSD _VER on a Decstation not already running
|
|
NetBSD _VER is supported by the following files, which are included in
|
|
the `./installation' subdirectory:
|
|
|
|
diskimage/diskimage.gz
|
|
A gzipped copy of a full root filesystem.
|
|
When unzipped, this is suitable for dd'ing
|
|
onto a raw disk partition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
netboot/diskimage.tar.gz
|
|
A gzipped copy of a tar file containing the same
|
|
files as diskimage.gz. When unzipped, this is
|
|
suitable for setting up an NFS server for diskless
|
|
boot or installing via netboot.
|
|
|
|
Distribution kernel images (e.g., for installalling on Ultrix) are
|
|
also available separately in the ./binary/kernel subdirectory:
|
|
|
|
netbsd.aout An a.out-format generic kernel, bootable on an
|
|
existing NetBSD system.
|
|
|
|
netbsd.ecoff An ECOFF-format kernel, suitable for diskless boot
|
|
via TFTP or for upgrading from Ultrix.
|
|
|
|
|
|
nfsnetbsd.ecoff An minimal ECOFF-format kernel, minimized to
|
|
boot on bugggy PROMs that cannot boot kernels
|
|
larger than ~1 Mbyte.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
