There are a collection of arm32 kernels in the "arm32/kernels"
subdirectory of the
.Nx \*V
distribution. Some of these kernels
contain a root file system image and should only be used for the
initial installation. Some of the kernels only support a particular
subset of the platforms that arm32 supports (See
"arm32/kernels/README" for more details.)

.Ss2 Binary Distribution Sets
The
.Nx

binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
comprise the
.Nx \*V
release for the \*m. There are eight binary distribution
.ie r_pc532 sets.
.el .No sets and the Em security No distribution set.
The binary distribution sets can be found in the
.Pa \*m/binary/sets

of the
.Nx \*V
distribution tree, and are as follows:

system to run and be minimally functional. It
includes shared library support, and excludes

The \*m security distribution set is named
.Sy secr No and can be found in the
.D1 Pa \*m/binary/security
subdirectory of the
.Nx \*V
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
.Sy base
distribution includes a crypt library which can perform
only the one-way encryption function. The security distribution
includes a version of the Kerberos IV network security system, and
a Kerberized version of
.Xr telnet 1
.No program. The Sy secr
distribution set can be found only on those sites which carry the complete
.Nx
distribution and which can legally obtain it. Because
of United States law, it may not be legal to distribute this set
to locations outside of the United States and Canada.

maintains its own set of sources for the X Window System in order to

These sources are based on XFree86, and tightly track XFree86 releases.
They are currently equivalent to XFree86 3.3.3.1.
Binary sets for the X Window system are distributed with

.\"============================ MI DISCUSSION OF BINARY SETS
.
.Pp
The \*m binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files
named with the extension
.Sy .tgz , No e.g.
.Pa base.tgz .
.
.
.\" contrary to most old INSTALL docs, only i386 has Split/ sets
.
.
.
.Pp
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 /-relative and
therefore are extracted
.Em 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
.Ic tar xfp
command from /.
