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 NetBSD; 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 8.6M 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Each distribution file is in "raw" archive format.
|
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|
|
|
- The files should not be unpacked. If you have the Internet Config
|
|
extension installed, you can disable this in the "Helpers" dialog
|
|
by removing the entry associated with ".tgz" files. Other FTP
|
|
clients may require separate changes; consult your package's
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
- 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 MacOS installation tools from the
|
|
"mac68k/installation/misc" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution:
|
|
Mkfs, NetBSD/Mac68k Installer, and NetBSD/Mac68k 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.
