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

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

496: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
497: <ul>
498: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
499: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
500: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
501: <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
502:
503: <p>
504: Use <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyB44.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
505: support, or <i>CD1:4.4/i386/floppyC44.fs</i> for better laptop support.
506:
507: <p>
508: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
509: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
510: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
511:
512: <p>
513: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
514: read INSTALL.i386.
515:
516: <p>
517: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
518: at <i>CD1:4.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
519: use the
520: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
521: utility. The following is an example usage of
522: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
523: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

544: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.4/amd64/floppy44.fs</i> to a floppy, then
545: boot from the floppy drive.

738: in a separate archive. To extract:

740: <ul><pre>

746: sys.tar.gz contains a source archive starting at /usr/src/sys.
747: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
748: To extract:
749: <p>
750: <ul><pre>
751: # <strong>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</strong>

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

787: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
788: read the <a href="ports.html">ports</a> page
789: if you know nothing about ports
790: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
791: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
792: OpenBSD ports system.
793: <p>
794: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
795: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html">
796: cvs(1)</a> if
797: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
798: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
799: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
800: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
801: like:
802: <p>
803: <ul><pre>
804: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_4</strong>
805: </pre></ul>
806: <p>
807: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
808: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
809: server.]
810: <p>
811: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
812: packages for the 4.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
813: <p>
814: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
815: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
816: place to know.
