428:
429: <h3>OpenBSD/alpha:</h3>
430:
431: <p>
432: If your machine can boot from CD, you can write <i>install73.iso</i> or

438: <p>
439: If your machine can boot from CD, you can write <i>install73.iso</i> or
440: <i>cd73.iso</i> to a CD and boot from it.
441: You may need to adjust your BIOS options first.
442:
443: <p>
444: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install73.img</i> or
445: <i>miniroot73.img</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
446:
447: <p>
448: If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,

1.1 benno 579: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the

585: <section id=sourcecode>
586: <h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
587: <p>
588: <code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
589: This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources,
590: which are in a separate archive.
591: To extract:
592: <blockquote><pre>
593: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
594: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
595: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
596: </pre></blockquote>
597: <p>
598: <code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
599: This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
600: To extract:
601: <blockquote><pre>
602: # <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
603: # <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
604: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz</kbd>
605: </pre></blockquote>
606: <p>
607: Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
608: is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
609: described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
610: Using these files
611: results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
612: a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

618: <h3>Ports Tree</h3>
619: <p>
620: A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
621: <blockquote><pre>
622: # <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
623: # <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
624: </pre></blockquote>
625: <p>
626: Go read the <a href="faq/ports/index.html">ports</a> page
627: if you know nothing about ports
628: at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
629: Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
630: OpenBSD ports system.
631: <p>
632: The <i>ports/</i> directory represents a CVS checkout of our ports.
633: As with our complete source tree, our ports tree is available via
634: <a href="anoncvs.html">AnonCVS</a>.
635: So, in order to keep up to date with the -stable branch, you must make
636: the <i>ports/</i> tree available on a read-write medium and update the tree
637: with a command like:
638: <blockquote><pre>
639: # <kbd>cd /usr/ports</kbd>
640: # <kbd>cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd -rOPENBSD_7_3</kbd>
641: </pre></blockquote>
642: <p>
643: [Of course, you must replace the server name here with a nearby anoncvs
644: server.]
645: <p>
646: Note that most ports are available as packages on our mirrors. Updated
647: ports for the 7.3 release will be made available if problems arise.
648: <p>
649: If you're interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
650: would like to know more, the mailing list
651: <a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
