Installation is currently only supported from the local Macintosh hard
|
|
drive, from a CD-ROM, or from an AppleShare volume (however, you may upgrade
|
|
a system from within
|
|
.Nx
|
|
; see the section on upgrading for more details).
|
|
If you are installing from a local hard drive, this means that you'll need
|
|
at least enough room for the largest file that you will have to install.
|
|
This is the 15.2 MB
|
|
.Pa base.tgz
|
|
file. There has been talk of allowing an install
|
|
from split files. If you have the time, desire, and knowledge, please feel
|
|
free to add that functionality.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the install is being done from an AppleShare-mounted volume, the install
|
|
utility must be in the same folder as the binary distribution sets.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each distribution file is in
|
|
.Em raw No archive format.
|
|
.(bullet
|
|
Distribution files must be downloaded in binary mode. Common web
|
|
browsers may not be suitable for this task; FTP clients such as
|
|
Fetch and Anarchie work fine, but be sure to specify a binary file
|
|
transfer.
|
|
.It
|
|
The files should not be unpacked. If you have the Internet Config
|
|
extension installed, you can disable this in the
|
|
.Dq "Helpers"
|
|
dialog
|
|
by removing the entry associated with
|
|
.Dq ".tgz"
|
|
files. Other FTP
|
|
clients may require separate changes; consult your package's
|
|
documentation.
|
|
.It
|
|
If you are installing from a CD-ROM, the distribution sets are
|
|
already in the proper format and no special handling is required.

You will also need to collect the
|
|
.Tn MacOS
|
|
installation tools from the
|
|
.Pa \*M/installation/misc No subdirectory of the
|
|
.Nx \*V
|
|
distribution:
|
|
Mkfs,
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
Installer, and
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
Booter. These three are
|
|
in binhexed, self-extracting archives as Mkfs.sea.hqx, Installer.sea.hqx,
|
|
and Booter.sea.hqx, respectively. Extract them as you would any other
|
|
Macintosh application.
