.Ss2 Binary Distribution Sets
The
.Nx
\*m
binary distribution sets contain the binaries which
comprise the
.Nx \*V
release for the \*m. There are eight binary distribution
The binary distribution sets can be found in the
a \*m/binary/sets subdirectory of the .Nx \*V distribution tree, and are as follows: l -tag -width mmmmmmmmmmm -compact
p t Sy base The .Nx \*V .No \*m Sy base No binary distribution. You .Em must install this distribution set. It contains the base .Nx utilities that are necessary for the system to run and be minimally functional. It includes shared library support, and excludes everything described below.
p t Sy comp Things needed for compiling programs. This set includes the system include files
q Pa /usr/include and the various system libraries (except the shared libraries, which are included as part of the .Sy base set). This set also includes the manual pages for all of the utilities it contains, as well as the system call and library manual pages.
p t Sy etc This distribution set contains the system configuration files that reside in
a /etc and in several other places. This set .Em must be installed if you are installing the system from scratch, but should .Em not be used if you are upgrading. (If you are upgrading, it's recommended that you get a copy of this set and .Em carefully upgrade your configuration files by hand.)
p t Sy games This set includes the games and their manual pages.

p .Nx maintains its own set of sources for the X Window System in order to assure tight integration and compatibility. These sources are based on XFree86, and tightly track XFree86 releases. They are currently equivalent to XFree86 3.3.3.1. Binary sets for the X Window system are distributed with .Nx . The sets are: l -tag -width xcontribmmm t Sy xbase The basic files needed for a complete X client environment. This does not include the X servers.
t Sy xcomp The extra libraries and include files needed to compile X source code.
t Sy xcontrib Programs that were contributed to X.
t Sy xfont Fonts needed by X.

============================ MI DISCUSSION OF BINARY SETS
.
p The \*m binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files named with the extension .Sy .tgz , No e.g.
a base.tgz .
.
.
contrary to most old INSTALL docs, only i386 has Split/ sets
.
.
.
p The instructions given for extracting the source sets work equally well for the binary sets, but it is worth noting that if you use that method, the files are /-relative and therefore are extracted .Em below the current directory. That is, if you want to extract the binaries into your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the c tar xfp command from /. . . . . .
p Additional kernels to those included in the distribution sets may be found in the
a mac68k/binary/kernels subdirectory of the .Nx \*V distribution tree. These kernels are generally named something like
a netbsd-GENERIC.gz or some other suitable name. Please note that these kernels are simply gzipped and are not in tar archives.
p The MacOS-based utilities necessary for installing and running .Nx can be found in the
a mac68k/installation/misc subdirectory of the .Nx \*V distribution tree. The important files in this directory are as follows: . . l -tag -width Installer.sea.hqx t Pa Booter.sea.hqx The NetBSD/Mac68k Booter utility. This program is used to boot the .Nx kernel from within MacOS.
.Em 141 K archived t Pa Installer.sea.hqx The NetBSD/Mac68k Installer utility. This program is used to install the distribution sets onto your .Nx partition(s).
.Em 147 K archived t Pa Mkfs.sea.hqx The Mkfs utility. This program is used to format your chosen partitions so that they can be used with NetBSD.
.Em 76 K archived .El
p These files are all binhexed, self-extracting archives. If you need them, the sources for these utilities are in the
a src No subdirectory. . . .
