488: <ul>
489: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
490: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
491: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
492: <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppy48.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
493:
494: <p>
495: Use <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyB48.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
496: support, or <i>CD1:4.8/i386/floppyC48.fs</i> for better laptop support.
497:
498: <p>
499: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
500: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
501: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
502:
503: <p>
504: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
505: read INSTALL.i386.
506:
507: <p>
508: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
509: at <i>CD1:4.8/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
510: use the
511: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
512: utility. The following is an example usage of
513: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
514: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

779: <p>
780: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
781: <p>
782: <ul><pre>
783: # <strong>cd /usr</strong>
784: # <strong>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</strong>
785: # <strong>cd ports</strong>
786: </pre></ul>
787: <p>
788: The <i>ports/</i> subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
789: read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
790: if you know nothing about ports
791: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
792: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
793: OpenBSD ports system.
794: <p>
795: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
796: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&apropos=0&sektion=1&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386">
797: cvs(1)</a> if
798: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
799: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
800: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
801: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
802: like:
803: <p>
804: <ul><pre>
805: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_8</strong>
806: </pre></ul>
807: <p>
808: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
809: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
810: server.]
811: <p>
812: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
813: packages for the 4.8 release will be made available if problems arise.
814: <p>
815: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
816: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
817: place to know.
