Subject: Welcome to OpenBSD 2.5
This message attempts to describe the most basic first questions that a
system administrator of an OpenBSD box might have. You are urged to save
this message for later reference.
For more information on how to setup your OpenBSD system, refer to the
"afterboot" man page. If you are not familiar with how to read man pages,
type "man man" at a shell prompt and read the entire thing. Pay specific
attention to the "man -k keyword" option, which will permit you to find the
man page you are looking for easier. The GNU "info" subsystem is also
installed with further documentation resources; to read info pages type "info".
If you have installed the X11 packages during the install process, you can find
further information regarding configuration in the file /usr/X11R6/README.
Several popular binary packages (pre-compiled applications) are available
for most architetures. If you installed from a CD-ROM the packages
are on the same CD-ROM you installed from in the directory 2.5/packages.
CD-ROM Space permitted us to include the following packages for the most common
architectures:
Xaw3d-1.3.tgz aalib-1.2.tgz autoconf-2.13.tgz
bash-2.03.tgz bison-1.25.tgz bzip2-0.9.0c.tgz
compface-1.0.tgz egcs-1.1.2.tgz emacs-20.3.tgz
enscript-1.6.1.tgz ethereal-0.5.1.tgz fetchmail-4.7.9.tgz
gettext-0.10.35.tgz ghostscript-5.10.tgz gimp-1.1.4.tgz
glib-1.2.1.tgz gmake-3.77.tgz gnuplot-3.7.tgz
gtk+-1.2.1.tgz gv-3.5.8.tgz id-utils-3.2.tgz
iozone-2.01.tgz mm-2.7.tgz ircii-2.8.2-epic3.004.tgz
jpeg-6b.tgz m4-1.4.tgz netpipes-4.1.1-export.tgz
mpeg_lib-1.2.1.tgz nmh-1.0.tgz pine-4.10.tgz
png-1.0.3.tgz screen-3.7.6.tgz sharutils-4.2.tgz
sniffit-0.3.5.tgz tar-1.12.tgz tcl-8.0.5.tgz
tcsh-6.08.00.tgz tiff-3.4.tgz tk-8.0.5.tgz
unzip-5.40.tgz wget-1.5.3.tgz xcolors-1.3.tgz
xntp3-5.93e-export.tgz
These and many other packages are also available via ftp at
ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/2.5/packages/
If you do not find a package you want on the CD, please go look at your
nearest FTP mirror site.
Select your architecture and download the tarballs of your choice. For example
to install the emacs package for i386, execute
# mount /dev/cd0a /cdrom; pkg_add /cdrom/2.5/packages/i386/emacs-20.3.tgz
or # pkg_add ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/2.5/packages/i386/emacs-20.3.tgz
Other important packages which are not permitted on the CD (due to patents) are
available on our FTP servers (as described above). In particular, we provide
the USA and international versions of both SSH and PGP. The filenames are:
ssh-1.2.26-usa.tgz ssh-1.2.26-intl.tgz pgp-2.6.3-usa.tgz
pgp-2.6.3-intl.tgz
You are STRONGLY urged to install one of the above ssh packages and use ssh
instead of telnet, rlogin, or rsh.
Significant efforts were made to centralize all system configuration in the
/etc directory. You should be able to find each of the configuration files
you seek there, lightly documented. In particular, much of the configuration
has been centralized in the file /etc/rc.conf. You should not need to ever
edit the file /etc/rc. The files /etc/rc.securelevel and /etc/rc.local exist
for this purpose; the first is run before the system has gone into secure
mode; the second is run afterwards (if in doubt, add your tools to rc.local).
Please refer to our web pages for any other questions you might have.
http://www.OpenBSD.org
OpenBSD is free software. You can do with it as you like, subject to very few
conditions (described at www.OpenBSD.org/policy.html). But free software isn't
written without money. Network links, hardware costs, release engineering
and testing work; all these things take money and significant effort on the
part of those who have made this OpenBSD release what it is. Please reward the
developers who have made OpenBSD what it is, and thus make it possible for this
wonderful process to continue. For more information on how you can help,
please see www.OpenBSD.org/goals.html and visit www.OpenBSD.org/donations.html
to see a list of those who have donated money, equipment, or other resources
to ensure OpenBSD continues. (Thus far, most of those who have donated have
been developers themselves).
If you wish to ensure that OpenBSD runs better on your machines, please do us
a favor (after you have your mail system setup!) and type
dmesg | mail dmesg@openbsd.org
so that we can see what kinds of configurations people are running. We will
use this information to improve device driver support in future releases.
(We would be much happier if this information was for the supplied GENERIC
kernel; not for a custom compiled kernel). The device driver information
we get from this helps us fix existing drivers.
(If you used 'mail' to read this message and it scrolled by too quickly,
type "more .")
