148: the package build process
1.8 espie 149: <ul>
1.16 ! deraadt 150: <li>Downloading of distfiles is simpler, can resume interrupted download,
1.8 espie 151: discover file moves, and expire old files. Distfiles mirror sites now use
152: the new and improved method.
1.16 ! deraadt 153: <li>Dependency handling during ports build and package creation is at least
1.8 espie 154: twice as fast, twenty times as fast in pathological cases. This also affects

1.16 ! deraadt 163: <li>The arch-dependent issues are better classified, leading to better builds on
1.8 espie 164: old architectures in some complicated cases. In particular, dpb explicitly
165: purges from memory info about packages it cannot build and stuff that
166: depends on it, leading to better life on sparc and vax which have very
167: small data-size limits.
168: <li>dpb recognizes full builds and trims some duplicate package builds

281: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
282: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
283: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

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

331: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
332: your BIOS options first.
333: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
334: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.1/amd64/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy, then
335: boot from the floppy drive.
336:

620: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated

623: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
