! 140: <p>
! 141:
! 142: <li>Over 7,000 ports, major performance and stability improvements in
! 143: the package build process
1.8 espie 144: <ul>
145: <li>downloading of distfiles is simpler, can resume interrupted download,
146: discover file moves, and expire old files. Distfiles mirror sites now use
147: the new and improved method.
148: <li>dependency handling during ports build and package creation is at least
149: twice as fast, twenty times as fast in pathological cases. This also affects
150: user scripts such as out-of-date
151: <li>more checks are done during package builds, for increased user friendliness
152: <li>the long term process of documenting the infrastructure is now 100% done.
153: <li>The distributed ports builder (dpb) can now clean up old dependencies,
154: thus helping package builds be more reproducible.
155: This found tens of hidden build dependencies in the ports tree already.
156: <li>the semantics of pkg_add -a have been nailed down and a few minor bugs
157: have been fixed.
158: <li>arch-dependent issues are better classified, leading to better builds on
159: old architectures in some complicated cases. In particular, dpb explicitly
160: purges from memory info about packages it cannot build and stuff that
161: depends on it, leading to better life on sparc and vax which have very
162: small data-size limits.
163: <li>dpb recognizes full builds and trims some duplicate package builds
164: </ul>

275: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
276: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
277: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
278: <p>
279:
280: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
281: <ul>
282: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
283: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
284: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
285: <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
286:
287: <p>
288: Use <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyB51.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
289: support, or <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyC51.fs</i> for better laptop support.
290:
291: <p>
292: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
293: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
294: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
295:
296: <p>
297: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
298: read INSTALL.i386.
299:
300: <p>
301: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
302: at <i>CD1:5.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
303: use the
304: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
305: utility. The following is an example usage of
306: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
307: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

324: The 5.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
325: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
326: your BIOS options first.
327: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
328: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.1/amd64/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy, then
329: boot from the floppy drive.
330:

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

592: source tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
593: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
594: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
595: like:

601: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
602: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
603: server.]
604: <p>
605: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
606: packages for the 5.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
607: <p>
608: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
609: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
610: place to know.
