476: <ul>
477: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
478: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
479: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
480: <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppy40.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
481:
482: <p>
483: Use <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyB40.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
484: support, or <i>CD1:4.0/i386/floppyC40.fs</i> for better laptop support.
485:
486: <p>
487: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
488: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
489: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
490:
491: <p>
492: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
493: read INSTALL.i386.
494:
495: <p>
496: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
497: at <i>CD1:4.0/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
498: use the
499: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
500: utility. The following is an example usage of
501: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,

746: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
747: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
748: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
749: Using these files
750: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
751: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

769: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

777: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
778: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
779: if you know nothing about ports
780: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
781: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
782: OpenBSD ports system.
783: <p>
784: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
785: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
786: cvs(1)</a> if
787: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
788: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
789: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
790: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
791: like:
792: <p>
793: <ul><pre>
794: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_0</strong>
795: </pre></ul>
796: <p>
797: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
798: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
799: server.]
800: <p>
801: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
802: packages for the 4.0 release will be made available if problems arise.
803: <p>
804: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
805: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
806: place to know.
