1.16 deraadt 155: <li>Downloading of distfiles is simpler, can resume interrupted download,

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

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

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

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

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

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