261:
262: <li>Over 7,800 XXX ports, major performance and stability improvements in
263: the package build process
264: <ul>
265: <li>The parallel ports builder is more efficient. The main improvement is
266: that dpb consumes much less cpu on busy boxes, but there are lots of small
267: optimizations that amount to a large performance increase:
268: dpb can now build selected large ports using parallel make, and it
269: has a notion of affinity, so that ports failing on a cluster will be
270: preferentially restarted on the same machine.
271: </ul>
272: <p>
273: <li>Many pre-built packages for each architecture:

396: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
397: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
398: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
399: <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
400:
401: <p>
402: Use <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyB54.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
403: support, or <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyC54.fs</i> for better laptop support.
404:
405: <p>
406: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
407: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
408: the included INSTALL.i386 document.

411: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
412: read INSTALL.i386.
413:
414: <p>
415: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
416: at <i>CD1:5.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
417: use the
418: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
419: utility. The following is an example usage of
420: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
421: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or

441: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
442: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.4/amd64/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy, then
443: boot from the floppy drive.

719: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for

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

733: <p>
734: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs

736: <p>
737: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
738: packages for the 5.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
