434: You may need to adjust your BIOS options first.
435:
436: <p>
437: If your machine can boot from USB, you can write <i>install73.img</i> or
438: <i>miniroot73.img</i> to a USB stick and boot from it.
439:
440: <p>
441: If you can't boot from a CD, floppy disk, or USB,
442: you can install across the network using PXE as described in the included
443: INSTALL.amd64 document.

570: <p>
1.5 kn 571: If you already have an OpenBSD 7.2 system, and do not want to reinstall,
1.1 benno 572: upgrade instructions and advice can be found in the

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

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