387: your BIOS options first.
388:
389: <p>
390: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install58.fs</i> or
391: <i>miniroot58.fs</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
392:
393: <p>
394: If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,

661: OpenBSD ports system.
662: <p>
663: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
664: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">

667: source tree, our ports tree is available via
668: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
669: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
670: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
671: with a command like:
672: <p>
673: <ul><pre>
674: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
1.2 deraadt 675: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_8</strong>
1.1 deraadt 676: </pre></ul>
677: <p>
678: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
679: server.]
680: <p>
681: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
682: ports for the 5.8 release will be made available if problems arise.
683: <p>
684: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
685: would like to know more, the mailing list
686: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
