The pmax-specific portion of the NetBSD 1.1 release is found in the
|
|
"pmax" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
|
|
out as follows:
|
|
|
|
.../NetBSD-1.2/pmax/
|
|
binary/ pmax binary distribution sets;
|
|
see below.
|
|
|
|
install/ a GENERIC kernel, installation
|
|
utilities and a miniroot filesystem;
|
|
see below.
|
|
|
|
security/ pmax security distribution;
|
|
see below.
|
|
|
|
The NetBSD/pmax binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
|
|
comprise the NetBSD 1.2 release for the pmax. There are seven binary
|
|
distribution sets, and the "security" distribution set. The binary
|
|
distribution sets can be found in the "pmax/binary" subdirectory of
|
|
the NetBSD 1.1 distribution tree, and are as follows:
|
|
|
|
base12 The NetBSD/pmax 1.1 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.
|
|
[ 20.4M gzipped, 19M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
comp12 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.
|
|
[ 7.4M gzipped, 14.7M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
etc12 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.)
|
|
[ 68K gzipped, 348K uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
games12 This set includes the games and their manual pages.
|
|
[ 2.8M gzipped, 6.8M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
man12 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.
|
|
[ 0.9M gzipped, 3.6M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
misc12 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, 6.6M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
text12 This set includes NetBSD's text processing tools,
|
|
including groff, all related programs, and their
|
|
manual pages.
|
|
[ 1.2M gzipped, 3.18M uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
The pmax distribution set does not include a security distribution.
|
|
If you are in the US 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
|
|
|
|
(Remember, because of United States law, this distribution set may not
|
|
be exported to locations outside of the United States and Canada.)
|
|
[ 128K gzipped, 275K uncompressed ]
|
|
|
|
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 1.2 on a Decstatio not already running
|
|
NetBSD 1.2 is supported by the following files, which are included in
|
|
the `.../install' directory:
|
|
|
|
miniroot.gz A gzipped copy of a miniroot filesystem.
|
|
When unzipped, this is suitable for dd'ing
|
|
onto a raw disk partition.
|
|
|
|
SYS_NBOOT.gz A gzipped copy of the network boot block.
|
|
This is useful if you are installing
|
|
a diskless NetBSD/pmax system.
|
|
|
|
inst-12.fs.gz A gzipped copy of the miniroot filesystem.
|
|
|
|
netbsd.gz A gzipped GENERIC kernel.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
