1.11 espie 154: <li>Over 7,000 ports, major performance and stability improvements in

1.8 espie 156: <ul>
1.16 deraadt 157: <li>Downloading of distfiles is simpler, can resume interrupted download,
1.8 espie 158: discover file moves, and expire old files. Distfiles mirror sites now use
159: the new and improved method.
1.16 deraadt 160: <li>Dependency handling during ports build and package creation is at least
1.8 espie 161: twice as fast, twenty times as fast in pathological cases. This also affects
162: user scripts such as out-of-date
1.16 deraadt 163: <li>More checks are done during package builds, for increased user friendliness
164: <li>The long term process of documenting the infrastructure is now 100% done.
1.8 espie 165: <li>The distributed ports builder (dpb) can now clean up old dependencies,
166: thus helping package builds be more reproducible.
167: This found tens of hidden build dependencies in the ports tree already.

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

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

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