The powerpc-specific portion of the OpenBSD 2.2 release is found in the "powerpc" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid out as follows: .../2.2/powerpc/ INSTALL.powerpc Installation notes; this file. CKSUM Output of the cksum(1) and md5(1) programs MD5 usable for verification of the correctness of downloaded files. floppy.fs The powerpc boot and installation floppy; see below. *.tar.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 .../2.2/tools/ miscellaneous i386 installation utilities like rawrite.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 2.2 release for the powerpc. There are seven binary distribution sets. The binary distribution sets can be found in the "powerpc" subdirectory of the OpenBSD 2.2 distribution tree, and are as follows: base22 The OpenBSD/powerpc 2.2 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 ] comp22 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 ] etc22 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 ] game22 This set includes the games and their manual pages. [ 2.8M gzipped, 6.7M uncompressed ] man22 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 ] misc22 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 ] text22 This set includes OpenBSD's text processing tools, including groff, all related programs, and their manual pages. [ 1.0M gzipped, 3.5M uncompressed ]
