1.58 ! deraadt 213: <li>Over 7,000 ports, major performance and stability improvements in
1.11 espie 214: the package build process
1.8 espie 215: <ul>
1.16 deraadt 216: <li>Downloading of distfiles is simpler, can resume interrupted download,
1.8 espie 217: discover file moves, and expire old files. Distfiles mirror sites now use
218: the new and improved method.
1.16 deraadt 219: <li>Dependency handling during ports build and package creation is at least
1.8 espie 220: twice as fast, twenty times as fast in pathological cases. This also affects
221: user scripts such as out-of-date
1.16 deraadt 222: <li>More checks are done during package builds, for increased user friendliness
223: <li>The long term process of documenting the infrastructure is now 100% done.
1.8 espie 224: <li>The distributed ports builder (dpb) can now clean up old dependencies,
225: thus helping package builds be more reproducible.
226: This found tens of hidden build dependencies in the ports tree already.

1.8 espie 228: have been fixed.
1.16 deraadt 229: <li>The arch-dependent issues are better classified, leading to better builds on
1.8 espie 230: old architectures in some complicated cases. In particular, dpb explicitly
1.58 ! deraadt 231: purges from memory info about packages it cannot build and stuff that
1.8 espie 232: depends on it, leading to better life on sparc and vax which have very
233: small data-size limits.
234: <li>dpb recognizes full builds and trims some duplicate package builds
235: </ul>
236: <p>

1.1 deraadt 347: <p>
348: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
349: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
350: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

352: <h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
353:
1.1 deraadt 354: <p>
355: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
356: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
357: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
358: <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
359:
360: <p>
361: Use <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyB51.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
362: support, or <i>CD1:5.1/i386/floppyC51.fs</i> for better laptop support.
363:
364: <p>
365: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
366: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
367: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
368:
369: <p>
370: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
371: read INSTALL.i386.
372:
373: <p>
374: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
375: at <i>CD1:5.1/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
376: use the
1.57 bentley 377: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>
1.1 deraadt 378: utility. The following is an example usage of
1.57 bentley 379: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/dd.1">dd(1)</a>,
1.1 deraadt 380: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
381: "rfd0a".

1.1 deraadt 386:
387: <p>
388: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
389: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
390: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

1.1 deraadt 394:
395: <p>
396: The 5.1 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
397: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
398: your BIOS options first.
399: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
400: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.1/amd64/floppy51.fs</i> to a floppy, then
401: boot from the floppy drive.
402:
403: <p>
404: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
405: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
406: INSTALL.amd64 document.
407:
408: <p>
409: If you are planning to dual boot OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
410: read INSTALL.amd64.

436:
437: <p>
438: You can also write <i>CD3:5.1/sparc64/miniroot51.fs</i> to the swap partition on
