151: <li>Over 7,000 ports, major performance and stability improvements in
152: the package build process
1.8 espie 153: <ul>
1.16 deraadt 154: <li>Downloading of distfiles is simpler, can resume interrupted download,
1.8 espie 155: discover file moves, and expire old files. Distfiles mirror sites now use
156: the new and improved method.
1.16 deraadt 157: <li>Dependency handling during ports build and package creation is at least
1.8 espie 158: twice as fast, twenty times as fast in pathological cases. This also affects

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

285: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
286: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
287: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
288: <p>
289:
290: <h3><font color="#e00000">OpenBSD/i386:</font></h3>
291: <ul>
292: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
293: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
294: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
295: <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
296:
297: <p>
298: Use <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyB51.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
299: support, or <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyC51.fs</i> for better laptop support.
300:
301: <p>
302: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
303: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
304: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
305:
306: <p>
307: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
308: read INSTALL.i386.
309:
310: <p>
311: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
312: at <i>CD1:5.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
313: use the
314: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
315: utility. The following is an example usage of
316: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
317: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
318: "rfd0a".

321: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>

323:
324: <p>
325: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
326: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
327: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

334: The 5.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
335: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
336: your BIOS options first.
337: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
338: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.1/amd64/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy, then
339: boot from the floppy drive.
340:

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

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