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

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

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

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

336: The 5.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
337: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
338: your BIOS options first.
339: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
340: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.1/amd64/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy, then
341: boot from the floppy drive.
342:
343: <p>
344: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
345: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included

625: <p>
626: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated

628: <p>
629: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
