xfer revision 1.6.2.1
1Installation is currently only supported from the local Macintosh 2hard drive or from an AppleShare volume (however, you may upgrade 3a system from within NetBSD; see the section on upgrading for more 4details). This means that you'll need at least enough room for the 5largest file that you will have to install. This is the 8.6MB base13 6file. There has been talk of allowing an install from split files. 7If you have the time, desire, and knowledge, please feel free to add 8that functionality. 9 10If the install is being done from an AppleShare-mounted volume, the 11install utility must be in the same folder as the data files. 12 13Each distribution file is in "raw" UN*X format, and must be 14downloaded in binary mode. Common web browsers are not suitable 15for this task; FTP clients such as Fetch and Anarchie work fine, 16but be sure to specify a binary file transfer. 17 18You will also need to collect the MacOS tools from the "mac68k/utils" 19subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution: 20 Mkfs, 21 Installer, and 22 BSD/mac68k Booter. 23 24These three are in binhexed, self-extracting archives as 25Mkfs.sea.hqx, Installer.sea.hqx, and Booter.sea.hqx, respectively. 26Extract them as you would any other Macintosh applications. If you 27need them, the sources for these utilities are in the "src" 28subdirectory. 29
