494: If your machine doesn't have a CD drive, you can setup a DHCP/tftp network

520: If your SPARC system does not have a CD drive, you can alternatively boot from floppy.
521: To do so you need to write <i>floppy58.fs</i> to a floppy.
522: For more information see <a href="faq/faq4.html#MkFlop">FAQ 4.3.2</a>.
523: To boot from the floppy use one of the two commands listed below,

614: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
615: OpenBSD ports system.
616: <p>
617: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for
618: <a href="http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=cvs&sektion=1&arch=i386">
619: cvs(1)</a> if
620: you aren't familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete
621: source tree, our ports tree is available via
622: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
623: So, in order to keep up to date with the <i>-stable</i> branch, you must make
624: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
625: with a command like:
626: <p>
627: <ul><pre>
628: # <strong>cd /usr/ports</strong>
1.2 deraadt 629: # <strong>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_5_8</strong>
1.1 deraadt 630: </pre></ul>
631: <p>
632: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
633: server.]
634: <p>
635: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
636: ports for the 5.8 release will be made available if problems arise.
637: <p>
638: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
639: would like to know more, the mailing list
640: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
