475: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the

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

480: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
481: <ul>
482: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
483: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
484: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
485: <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
486:
487: <p>
488: Use <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyB44.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
489: support, or <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyC44.fs</i> for better laptop support.
490:
491: <p>
492: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
493: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
494: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
495:
496: <p>
497: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
498: read INSTALL.i386.
499:
500: <p>
501: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
502: at <i>CD1:4.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
503: use the
504: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
505: utility. The following is an example usage of
506: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
507: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

526: your BIOS options first.
527: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
528: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.4/amd64/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy, then
529: boot from the floppy drive.

754: If you already have an OpenBSD 4.3 system, and do not want to reinstall,

761: <h3><font color="#0000e0">Ports Tree</font></h3>
762: <p>
763: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
764: <p>
765: <ul><pre>
766: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
767: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
768: # <strong>cd ports</strong>
769: </pre></ul>
770: <p>
771: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
772: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
773: if you know nothing about ports
774: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
775: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
776: OpenBSD ports system.
777: <p>
778: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
779: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
780: cvs(1)</a> if
781: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
782: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
783: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
784: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
785: like:
786: <p>
787: <ul><pre>
788: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_4</strong>
789: </pre></ul>
790: <p>
791: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
792: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
793: server.]
794: <p>
795: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
796: packages for the 4.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
797: <p>
798: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
799: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
800: place to know.
