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

394: Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
395: use of the "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
396: installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!

400: <ul>
401: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
402: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
403: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
404: <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
405:
406: <p>
407: Use <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyB54.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
408: support, or <i>CD1:5.4/i386/floppyC54.fs</i> for better laptop support.
409:
410: <p>
411: If you can't boot from a CD or a floppy disk,
412: you can install across the network using PXE as described in
413: the included INSTALL.i386 document.
414:
415: <p>
416: If you are planning on dual booting OpenBSD with another OS, you will need to
417: read INSTALL.i386.
418:
419: <p>
420: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located
421: at <i>CD1:5.4/tools/rawrite.exe</i>. To make the boot floppy under a Unix OS,
422: use the
423: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>
424: utility. The following is an example usage of
425: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=dd&sektion=1">dd(1)</a>,
426: where the device could be "floppy", "rfd0c", or
427: "rfd0a".
428:

430: # <strong>dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k</strong>
431: </pre></ul>
432:
433: <p>
434: Make sure you use properly formatted perfect floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or
435: your install will most likely fail. For more information on creating a boot
436: floppy and installing OpenBSD/i386 please refer to

443: The 5.4 release of OpenBSD/amd64 is located on CD2.
444: Boot from the CD to begin the install - you may need to adjust
445: your BIOS options first.
446: If you can't boot from the CD, you can create a boot floppy to install from.
447: To do this, write <i>CD2:5.4/amd64/floppy54.fs</i> to a floppy, then
448: boot from the floppy drive.
449:

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

742: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
