451: To install, burn cd64.iso on a CD-R, put it in the CD drive of your
452: machine and select <i>Install System Software</i> from the System Maintenance
453: menu. Indigo/Indy/Indigo2 (R4000) systems will not boot automatically from

501:
502: <tt>src.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src</tt>.
503: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
504: which are in a separate archive.
505: To extract:
506:
507: <blockquote><pre>
508: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src</b>
509: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
510: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</b>
511: </pre></blockquote>
512:
513: <tt>sys.tar.gz</tt> contains a source archive starting at <tt>/usr/src/sys</tt>.
514: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
515: To extract:
516:
517: <blockquote><pre>
518: # <b>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</b>
519: # <b>cd /usr/src</b>
520: # <b>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</b>
521: </pre></blockquote>

523: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
524: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
525: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
526: Using these files
527: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
528: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

535: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:

538: # <b>cd /usr</b>

542: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
543: if you know nothing about ports
544: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
545: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
546: OpenBSD ports system.
547: <p>
548: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
549: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
550: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
551: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
552: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
553: with a command like:
554:
555: <blockquote><pre>
556: # <b>cd /usr/ports</b>
557: # <b>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_4</b>
558: </pre></blockquote>
559:
560: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
561: server.]
562: <p>
563: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
564: ports for the 6.4 release will be made available if problems arise.
565: <p>
566: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
567: would like to know more, the mailing list
568: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
