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

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

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

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

616: order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree

624: [Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
625: with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs

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

630: <p>
631: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
632: would like to know more, the mailing list ports@openbsd.org is a good
633: place to know.
