The i386-specific portion of the OpenBSD 2.0 release is found in the
"i386" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
out as follows:
.../2.0/i386/
INSTALL.i386 Installation notes; this file.
bins/ i386 binary distribution sets;
see below.
floppies/ i386 boot and installation
floppies; see below.
utils/ Miscellaneous i386
installation utilities; see
installation section, below.
There are four i386 floppy images to be found in the "i386/floppy"
subdirectory of the OpenBSD 2.0 distribution. Two of them are bootable
kernel-copy floppies, one is an installation floppy, and one is an
upgrade floppy. They are all described in more detail below. There
are gzipped versions of each available, for easier downloading. (The
gzipped versions have the ".gz" extension added to their names.)
Bootable Kernel-copy floppies:
These disks contain file systems, are bootable, and have
enough utilities on board to copy a new kernel to your hard
disk once you have it partitioned for OpenBSD. They make
upgrading to a new kernel easy, because all you have to do is
get a new kernel-copy floppy with a new kernel, boot from it,
and confirm that you want to have the kernel copied to your
disk.
Please note that because of space considerations the kernel
copy floppies no longer contain drivers that are not needed
during installation -- in particular, no drivers needed to run
the X Window System are available in these kernels. It is
recommended that you configure a custom kernel following
installation.
For those that cannot configure a custom kernel, a "generic"
kernel image, named "bsd.gz" has been placed in the binaries
directory. It is strongly encouraged that you build a custom
kernel for your installation rather than use a prebuilt generic
kernel.
Installation floppy:
This disk contains the software necessary to prepare your hard
drive for OpenBSD and install the OpenBSD distribution. It is
not bootable, and must be used in conjunction with one of the
kernel-copy floppies. This floppy is named "inst-20.fs".
Upgrade floppy:
This disk contains the software to be used in upgrading the
system from a previous version of OpenBSD. It is not bootable,
and must be used in conjunction with one of the kernel-copy
floppies. This floppy is named "upgr20.fs"
The OpenBSD/i386 binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
comprise the OpenBSD 2.0 release for the i386. There are seven binary
distribution sets. The binary distribution sets can be found in
subdirectories of the "i386/bins" subdirectory of the OpenBSD 2.0
distribution tree, and are as follows:
base20 The OpenBSD/i386 2.0 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.
[ 7.5M gzipped, 19.5M uncompressed ]
comp20 The OpenBSD/i386 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.
[ 4.9M gzipped, 15.0M uncompressed ]
etc20 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.)
[ 63K gzipped, 338K uncompressed ]
games20 This set includes the games and their manual pages.
[ 2.8M gzipped, 6.9M uncompressed ]
man20 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.
[ 0.8M gzipped, 3.4M uncompressed ]
misc20 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 ]
text20 This set includes OpenBSD's text processing tools,
including groff, all related programs, and their
manual pages.
[ 0.8M gzipped, 2.9M uncompressed ]
The i386 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 i386 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.
