21: flavour.

23: <h3><font color=#0000e0><strong>History and Status:</strong></font></h3>
24:
25: <p>
26: The Sun3 port of OpenBSD was derived from the NetBSD/sun3 port, when the sun3 and sun3x
27: ports were still different entities. The tiny bits of OpenBSD that are
28: completely specific to the Sun3 port are basically the same as their NetBSD
29: counterparts.

1.36 miod 34: OpenBSD/sun3 runs on the following Sun3 models:
1.7 kstailey 35: <ul>
1.35 ericj 36: <li> Sun-3/50
37: <li> Sun-3/60, 3/60LE

43: OpenBSD will not run on 3/160 machines with only 2Mb of memory, and very
44: hardly on 4Mb machines.

1.36 miod 60: The complete OpenBSD/sun3 release is <a href=ftp.html>available via
61: ftp</a>; snapshots are made available on an irregular basis.<br>
62: You should read the

1.36 miod 64: notes</a> for this release before trying to install OpenBSD/sun3.
65: </p>

67: <p>
1.39 miod 68: The first boot of the system will take some time due to the generation of a DSA
69: key for ssh. This can take up to 15 minutes on a 3/160, but times can vary
70: greatly depending on your machine. This is a one time process and is nothing to
71: worry about.

1.31 kstailey 74: <p>You can use <a href="anoncvs.html">cvs</a> to get The X Window System.
1.35 ericj 75: Kenneth Stailey had written patches for OpenBSD/sun3, which should have been
1.39 miod 76: integrated into the mainstream XFree86 sources. X clients and libraries are
77: available, but there is no X server yet.
