That subdirectory is laid +out as follows: + +.../2.1/arc/ + INSTALL.arc Installation notes; this file. + + bins/ arc binary distribution sets; + see below. + + miniroot/ arc boot and installation + floppies; see below. + +There is a arc miniroot image to be found in the "arc/minroot" +subdirectory of the OpenBSD 2.1 distribution. Also there is a +miniroot tar file there. + +The OpenBSD/arc binary distribution sets contain the binaries which +comprise the OpenBSD 2.1 release for arc systems. There are seven binary +distribution sets. The binary distribution sets can be found in +subdirectories of the "arc/bins" subdirectory of the OpenBSD 2.1 +distribution tree, and are as follows: + + base21 The OpenBSD/arc 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. + [ 15.0M gzipped, 50.8M uncompressed ] + + comp21 The OpenBSD/arc 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. + [ 16.2M gzipped, 61.1M 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.) + [ 93K gzipped, 450K uncompressed ] + + game21 This set includes the games and their manual pages. + [ 2.9M gzipped, 7.5M 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, 9.4M 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. + [ 1.8M gzipped, 6.2M uncompressed ] + + text21 This set includes OpenBSD's text processing tools, + including groff, all related programs, and their + manual pages. + [ 1.0M gzipped, 4.2M uncompressed ] + +The arc binary distribution sets are distributed in the same form as +the source distribution sets; catted together, the members of a set +form a gzipped tar file. Each arc binary distribution set also has +its own "CKSUMS" file, just as the source distribution sets do. + +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 xfp" +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. |
