288: <li>Added some more free firmwares to the CD media that could fit them.
289: <li>Make the macppc upgrade script update the boot blocks (oddly, this
1.31 deraadt 290: had been broken a very long time and no one noticed).
1.8 deraadt 291: <li>Teach the install script about the configuration of 802.11 interfaces.
292: Visible networks can be listed, and even configured for WPA.
293: <li>The install script now passes collected entropy better to the

1.3 deraadt 315: <ul>
316: <li>New features:
1.4 sobrado 317: <ul>
318: <li>Implement Elliptic Curve Cryptography modes for key exchange (ECDH)
319: and host/user keys (ECDSA) as specified by RFC5656. ECDH and ECDSA
320: offer better performance than plain DH and DSA at the same
321: equivalent symmetric key length, as well as much shorter keys.</li>
322: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
323: and
324: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp-server&sektion=8">sftp-server(8)</a>:
325: add a protocol extension to support a hard link operation. It is
326: available through the "ln" command in the client. The old "ln"
327: behaviour of creating a symlink is available using its "-s" option
328: or through the preexisting "symlink" command.</li>
329: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
330: Add a new -3 option to scp: Copies between two remote hosts are
331: transferred through the local host. Without this option the data is
332: copied directly between the two remote hosts.</li>
333: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
334: automatically order the hostkeys requested by the client based on
335: which hostkeys are already recorded in known_hosts. This avoids
336: hostkey warnings when connecting to servers with new ECDSA keys,
337: since these are now preferred when learning hostkeys for the first
338: time.</li>

340: and
341: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
342: add a new IPQoS option to specify arbitrary TOS/DSCP/QoS values
343: instead of hardcoding lowdelay/throughput. (bz#1733)</li>
344: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>:
345: the sftp client is now significantly faster at performing directory
346: listings, using OpenBSD glob(3) extensions to preserve the results
347: of stat(3) operations performed in the course of its execution
348: rather than performing expensive round trips to fetch them again
349: afterwards.</li>
350: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>:
351: "atomically" create the listening mux socket by binding it on a
352: temporary name and then linking it into position after listen() has
353: succeeded. This allows the mux clients to determine that the server
354: socket is either ready or stale without races. Stale server sockets
355: are now automatically removed. (also fixes bz#1711)</li>
356: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
357: and
358: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>:
359: add a <em>KexAlgorithms</em> knob to the client and server
360: configuration to allow selection of which key exchange methods are
361: used by
362: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=ssh&sektion=1">ssh(1)</a>
363: and
364: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd&sektion=8">sshd(8)</a>
365: and their order of preference.</li>
366: <li><a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>
367: and
368: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>:
369: factor out bandwidth limiting code from
370: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=scp&sektion=1">scp(1)</a>
371: into a generic bandwidth limiter that can be attached using the
372: <em>atomicio</em> callback mechanism and use it to add a bandwidth
373: limit option to
374: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1">sftp(1)</a>.

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

552: <ul>
553: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
554: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
555: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
556: <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
557:
558: <p>
559: Use <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyB49.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
560: support, or <i>CD1:4.9/i386/floppyC49.fs</i> for better laptop support.
561:
562: <p>
563: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
564: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
565: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
566:
567: <p>
568: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
569: read INSTALL.i386.
570:
571: <p>
572: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
573: at <i>CD1:4.9/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
574: use the
575: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
576: utility. The following is an example usage of
577: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
578: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

585: <p>
586: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
587: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
588: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

595: The 4.9 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
596: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
597: your BIOS options first.
598: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
599: To do this, write <i>CD2:4.9/amd64/floppy49.fs</i> to a floppy, then
600: boot from the floppy drive.

858: <p>
859: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

862: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
863: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
864: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
865: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
866: like:
867: <p>
868: <ul><pre>
869: # <strong>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_4_9</strong>

871: <p>
872: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
873: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
874: server.]
875: <p>
876: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
877: packages for the 4.9 release will be made available if problems arise.
878: <p>
879: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
880: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
881: place to know.
