792: Play with your BIOS options to enable booting from a CD. The OpenBSD/i386
793: release is on CD1. If your BIOS does not support booting from CD, you will need
794: to create a boot floppy to install from. To create a boot floppy write
795: <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppy55.fs</i> to a floppy and boot via the floppy drive.
796:
797: <p>
798: Use <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyB55.fs</i> instead for greater SCSI controller
799: support, or <i>CD1:5.5/i386/floppyC55.fs</i> for better laptop support.

815: To make a boot floppy under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility located

817: use the

1123: <p>
1124: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
1.86 tb 1125: <a href="https://man.openbsd.org/?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">

1128: source tree, our ports tree is available via
1129: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
1130: So, in order to keep current with it, you must make the <i>ports/</i> tree
1131: available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
1132: like:
1133: <p>
1134: <ul><pre>

1136: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_5</strong>

1138: <p>
1139: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
1140: server.]
1141: <p>
1142: Note that most ports are available as packages through FTP. Updated
1143: packages for the 5.5 release will be made available if problems arise.
1144: <p>
1145: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
1146: would like to know more, the mailing list
1147: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
