3Installation is currently only supported from the local Macintosh hard
4drive, from a CD-ROM, or from an AppleShare volume (however, you may upgrade
5a system from within NetBSD; see the section on upgrading for more details).
6If you are installing from a local hard drive, this means that you'll need
7at least enough room for the largest file that you will have to install.
8This is the 8.6M base.tgz file.  There has been talk of allowing an install
9from split files.  If you have the time, desire, and knowledge, please feel
10free to add that functionality.
11
12If the install is being done from an AppleShare-mounted volume, the install
13utility must be in the same folder as the binary distribution sets.
14
15Each distribution file is in "raw" archive format.
16
17    -	Distribution files must be downloaded in binary mode.  Common web
18	browsers may not be suitable for this task; FTP clients such as
19	Fetch and Anarchie work fine, but be sure to specify a binary file
20	transfer.
21
22    -	The files should not be unpacked.  If you have the Internet Config
23	extension installed, you can disable this in the "Helpers" dialog
24	by removing the entry associated with ".tgz" files.  Other FTP
25	clients may require separate changes; consult your package's
26	documentation.
27
28    -   If you are installing from a CD-ROM, the distribution sets are
29	already in the proper format and no special handling is required.
30
31You will also need to collect the MacOS installation tools from the
32"mac68k/installation/misc" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution:
33Mkfs, NetBSD/Mac68k Installer, and NetBSD/Mac68k Booter.  These three are
34in binhexed, self-extracting archives as Mkfs.sea.hqx, Installer.sea.hqx,
35and Booter.sea.hqx, respectively.  Extract them as you would any other
36Macintosh application.
