This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 2.6.

For a comprehensive list, see the <a href=plus26.html>changelog</a> leading

to 2.6.

<p>

<ul>

<li>The most interesting addition is OpenSSH (https://www.OpenSSH.com/).

This is a free and reusable SSH suite based on an early release by Tatu

Ylonen (1.2.12). That release was the last with a free license. OpenSSH

was brought up to current standards and uses the OpenSSL library. It is

free for all except USA commercial users (RSA patent in USA). OpenSSH was

developed by OpenBSD and has been ported to FreeBSD and Linux.

<li>A clever trick allows us to distribute the same CD-ROM (USA and the

rest of the world) and maintain full strength crypto without violating the

RSA patent in the USA.

<li>Extensive changes to the documentation, notably the man pages and the

Web FAQ. The manual pages now include useful examples to supplement the

explanations. By keeping the documentation set concise and in two

well-known locations, we hope to avoid the explosion of "How-To" docs that

forces users to search endlessly for information.

<li>More complete collection of "ports". Ports is the method to use when

importing and building freeware applications from the network

(applications, mailers, browsers, etc.). The user needs only to cd to the

relevant directory and type "make install" to start a process that will

fetch the sources, patch them for OpenBSD, compile and install the

package. Most ports are also available as pre-built packages.

<li>Includes:

<ul>

<li>XFree86 3.3.5

<li>gcc 2.95

<li>Apache 1.3.9 + Mod_ssl 2.4.5 + OpenSSL 0.9.4, and DSO support

</ul>

<li>Many improvements for security and reliability (look for the red

print in the complete list).

<li>New hardware devices supported, notably in the PC (i386) architecture.

<ul>

<li>PCI IDE and DMA support

<li>USB (universal serial bus)

<li>ATAPISCSI devices, including CD-R and CD-RWs

<h3>How to install</h3>

<p>

Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of

paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate

so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had

purchased a CDROM instead.

<p>

Please refer to the following files on the two CDROMs for extensive

details on how to install OpenBSD 2.6 on your machine:

use of the new "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when

installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

<p>

<h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>

<p>

Play with your BIOS options, and see if you can enable booting off a

CD; try using CD1. If not, write CD1:2.6/i386/floppy26.fs to a

be "floppy" or "rfd0c" or "rfd0a"). Use properly formatted perfect

floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or you will lose.

<p>

<h3>sparc:</h3>

<h3>OpenBSD/sparc:</h3>

<p>

To boot off CD1, type "boot cdrom 2.6/sparc/bsd.rd", or

"b sd(0,6,0)2.6/sparc/bsd.rd" depending on your ROM version.

the "kc.fs" floppy. This time, when the floppy is ejected simply

re-insert "kc.fs" again and answer a different set of questions.

<p>

<h3>amiga:</h3>

<h3>OpenBSD/amiga:</h3>

<p>

Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section.

Mount the CD2 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following

CLI command: "CD0:2.6/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.6/amiga/bsd.rd".

<p>

<h3>OpenBSD/hp300:</h3>

<p>

You can boot over the network by following the instructions in

INSTALL.hp300.

<p>

<h3>alpha:</h3>

<h3>OpenBSD/alpha:</h3>

<p>

Your alpha must use SRM firmware (not ARC). If you have a CDROM, you

can try "boot -fi 2.6/alpha/bsd.rd dkaX" (use "show device" to find your

Line 181

floppy and boot that by typing "boot dva0". If this fails, you can place

bsd.rd on some other device and boot it, or use the provided simpleroot.

<p>

<h3>OpenBSD/mac68k:</h3>

<p>

Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX

configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from

<h3>Notes about the source code:</h3>

<h3>Notes about the source code</h3>

<p>

src.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src. This file

contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are

in a separate archive. To extract:

<p>

<pre>

# mkdir -p /usr/src

# <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>

# cd /usr/src

# <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>

# tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz

# <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>

</pre>

</pre></blockquote>

<p>

srcsys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.

This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.

To extract:

<p>

<pre>

# mkdir -p /usr/src/sys

# <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>

# cd /usr/src

# <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>

# tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz

# <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz</kbd>

</pre>

</pre></blockquote>

<p>

Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it

is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as

described at <a href=anoncvs.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/anoncvs.html</a>.

described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.

Using these files

results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from

a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

<h3>PORTS TREE</h3>

<h3>Ports Tree</h3>

<p>

A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

<p>

<pre>

# cd /usr

# <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>

# tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz

# <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>

# cd ports

# <kbd>cd ports</kbd>

# ls

# <kbd>ls</kbd>

...

</pre>

</pre></blockquote>

<p>

The ports/ subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go

read <a href=faq/faq15.html>http://www.OpenBSD.org/faq/faq15.html</a>

Line 216

Line 262

available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command

like:

<p>

<pre>

# cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd

# <kbd>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd</kbd>

</pre>

</pre></blockquote>

<p>

[Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here

with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs

Line 232

Line 278

interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just

would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good

place to know.
