293: authorized_keys, to allow control over the port-forwardings that a
294: user is allowed to establish.
295: <li>Added an <b>ExitOnForwardFailure</b> option to cause ssh(1) to exit (with
296: a non-zero exit code) when requested port forwardings could not be
297: established.
298: <li>Added optional logging of transactions to <a href=
299: "http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8"
300: >sftp-server(8)</a>.

305: "http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5"

433: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
434: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
435: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
436: <p>
437:
438: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
439: <ul>
440: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
441: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
442: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
443: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
444:
445: <p>
446: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
447: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
448:
449: <p>
450: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
451: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
452: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
453:
454: <p>
455: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
456: read INSTALL.i386.
457:
458: <p>
459: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
460: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
461: use the
462: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
463: utility. The following is an example usage of
464: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
465: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

471:

473: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
474: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
475: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

482: The 4.0 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
483: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
484: your BIOS options first.
485: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
486: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.0/amd64/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy, then
487: boot from the floppy drive.
488:
489: <p>
490: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,

727: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
728: <p>
729: <ul><pre>
730: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
731: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
732: # <strong>cd ports</strong>
733: </pre></ul>
734: <p>
735: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
736: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
737: if you know nothing about ports
738: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
739: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
740: OpenBSD ports system.
741: <p>
742: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
743: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
744: cvs(1)</a> if
745: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
746: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
747: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
748: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
749: like:
750: <p>
751: <ul><pre>
752: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>
753: </pre></ul>
754: <p>
755: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
756: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
757: server.]
758: <p>
759: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
760: packages for the 4.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
761: <p>
762: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
763: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
764: place to know.
