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. 8 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. 24 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. 31
