xfer revision 1.6.2.3
1Installation is currently only supported from the local Macintosh hard
2drive or from an AppleShare volume (however, you may upgrade a system from
3within NetBSD; see the section on upgrading for more details).  This means
4that you'll need at least enough room for the largest file that you will
5have to install.  This is the 8.6MB base.tgz file.  There has been talk of
6allowing an install from split files.  If you have the time, desire, and
7knowledge, please feel free to add that functionality.

9If the install is being done from an AppleShare-mounted volume, the install
10utility must be in the same folder as the data files.
11
12Each distribution file is in "raw" archive format.
13
14    -	Distribution files must be downloaded in binary mode.  Common web
15	browsers may not be suitable for this task; FTP clients such as
16	Fetch and Anarchie work fine, but be sure to specify a binary file
17	transfer.
18
19    -	The files should not be unpacked.  If you have the Internet Config
20	extension installed, you can disable this in the "Helpers" dialog
21	by removing the entry associated with ".tgz" files.  Other FTP
22	clients may require separate changes; consult your package's
23	documentation.

25You will also need to collect the MacOS installation tools from the
26"mac68k/installation/misc" subdirectory of the NetBSD _VER distribution:
27Mkfs, NetBSD/Mac68k Installer, and NetBSD/Mac68k Booter.  These three are
28in binhexed, self-extracting archives as Mkfs.sea.hqx, Installer.sea.hqx,
29and Booter.sea.hqx, respectively.  Extract them as you would any other
30Macintosh application.
