The amiga-specific portion of the OpenBSD 2.1 release is found in the "amiga" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is layed out as follows: .../2.1/amiga/ INSTALL.amiga This file. kernels/ A generic OpenBSD kernel is found here. miniroots/ An amiga installation and upgrade file system image; see below. tars/ amiga binary distribution sets; see below. tars.split/ amiga binary distribution sets splitted in 80k parts. utils/ Miscellaneous amiga installation utilities; see installation section, below. There is one amiga file system image to be found in the "amiga/miniroots" subdirectory of the OpenBSD 2.1 distribution. It's a combined upgrade and installation image. It's described in more detail below. There is a gzipped version available, for easier downloading. (The gzipped version has the ".gz" extension added to its name.) Installation/upgrade file system: This file contains a BSD root file system setup to help you install or upgrade the rest of OpenBSD. This includes formatting root and /usr partitions in the case of an install or converting existing ones if doing an upgrade (this conversion is only needed if you are coming from a real old NetBSD world), then mounting your root and /usr partitions and getting ready to extract (and possibly first fetching) the distribution sets. There is enough on this file system to allow you to make a slip or ppp connection, configure an ethernet, mount an NFS file system or ftp. You can also load distribution sets from a SCSI tape or from one of your existing AmigaDOS partitions. This file is named "miniroot21.fs". The OpenBSD/amiga binary distribution sets contain the binaries which comprise the OpenBSD 2.1 release for the amiga. There are seven binary distribution sets. The binary distribution sets can be found in subdirectories of the "amiga/tars" subdirectory of the OpenBSD 2.1 distribution tree, and are as follows (all have ".tar.gz" appended to the name given in the table below): base21 The OpenBSD/amiga 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. [ 11M gzipped, 35M uncompressed ] comp21 The OpenBSD/amiga Compiler tools. The C, C++, and FORTRAN language environments are supported. 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. [ 7M gzipped, 23M 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.) [ 70K gzipped, 380K uncompressed ] game21 This set includes the games and their manual pages. [ 3M gzipped, 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. [ 2M gzipped, 8M 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. [ 2M gzipped, 6M uncompressed ] text21 This set includes OpenBSD's text processing tools, including groff, all related programs, and their manual pages. [ 1M gzipped, 4M uncompressed ] The amiga 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 amiga 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 xvfp" from /.
