That subdirectory is laid +out as follows: + +.../2.1/powerpc/ + INSTALL.powerpc Installation notes; this file. + + floppy.fs The powerpc boot and installation + floppy; see below. + + *.gz powerpc binary distribution sets; + see below. + + bsd A stock GENERIC powerpc kernel which + will be installed on your system + during the install. + +As well you may be interested in + +.../2.1/tools/ + miscellaneous i386 installation utilities like + rawwrite.exe, gzip.exe, and pfdisk.exe; see + installation section, below. + + +In summary, there is one powerpc floppy image called "floppy.fs". This +is a bootable install floppy which can be used both to install and to +upgrade OpenBSD to the current version. It is also useful for maintenance +and disaster recovery. In addition, the "tools/" directory contains some +utilities that might be useful for the installation. + +Bootable installation/upgrade floppy: + + This disk contains a file system, is bootable, and has + enough utilities on board to prepare your hard disk drive + for OpenBSD and to install the OpenBSD distribution. + + It also holds the utilities needed in order to upgrade a + system to the current version of OpenBSD. + +The OpenBSD/powerpc binary distribution sets contain the binaries which +comprise the OpenBSD 2.1 release for the powerpc. There are seven binary +distribution sets. The binary distribution sets can be found in +subdirectories of the "powerpc/bins" subdirectory of the OpenBSD 2.1 +distribution tree, and are as follows: + + base21 The OpenBSD/powerpc 2.1 base binary distribution. You + MUST install this distribution set. It contains the + base OpenBSD utilities that are necessary for the + system to run and be minimally functional. It + includes shared library support, and excludes + everything described below. + [ 12.5M gzipped, 35.1M uncompressed ] + + comp21 The OpenBSD/powerpc Compiler tools. All of the tools + relating to C, C++, and FORTRAN (yes, there are two!). + 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. + [ 7.7M gzipped, 24.2M uncompressed ] + + etc21 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.) + [ 92K gzipped, 450K uncompressed ] + + game21 This set includes the games and their manual pages. + [ 2.8M gzipped, 6.7M uncompressed ] + + man21 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. + [ 2.5M gzipped, 9.6M uncompressed ] + + misc21 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. + [ 1.7M gzipped, 6.1M uncompressed ] + + text21 This set includes OpenBSD's text processing tools, + including groff, all related programs, and their + manual pages. + [ 1.0M gzipped, 3.5M uncompressed ] |
