The i386-specific portion of the OpenBSD 2.1 release is found in the
"i386" subdirectory of the distribution. That subdirectory is laid
out as follows:
.../2.1/i386/
INSTALL.i386 Installation notes; this file.
floppy.fs The i386 boot and installation
floppy; see below.
*.gz/ i386 binary distribution sets;
see below.
bsd A stock GENERIC i386 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 i386 floppy image called "floppy.fs". This is
a bootable install floppy which can be used both to install and to
upgrade an OpenBSD to the current version, as well as for maintenance
work. In addition, the "tools/" directory contains some utilities
that might be useful for the installation.
Bootable installation/upgrade floppy:
This disks contains a file system, is bootable, and have
enough utilities on board to prepare your hard disk drive
for OpenBSD and install the OpenBSD distribution.
It also holds the untilities needed in order to upgrade a
system to the current version of OpenBSD.
The OpenBSD/i386 binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
comprise the OpenBSD 2.1 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 2.1
distribution tree, and are as follows:
base21 The OpenBSD/i386 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.
[ 7.5M gzipped, 19.5M uncompressed ]
comp21 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 ]
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.)
[ 63K gzipped, 338K uncompressed ]
game21 This set includes the games and their manual pages.
[ 2.8M gzipped, 6.9M 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.
[ 0.8M gzipped, 3.4M 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.
[ 1.9M gzipped, 6.6M uncompressed ]
text21 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.
