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154: user scripts such as out-of-date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

281: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
282: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

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

329: The 5.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
330: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
331: your BIOS options first.
332: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
333: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.1/amd64/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy, then
334: boot from the floppy drive.
335:

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

615: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
616: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
617: server.]
618: <p>
619: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
620: packages for the 5.1 release will be made available if problems arise.
621: <p>
622: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
623: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
624: place to know.
