A gzipped version is available, for easier downloading. (The gzipped version has the .Sy \&.gz extension added to their names.) .(tag miniroot.fs .It Pa miniroot.fs This file contains a .Bx root file system setup to help you install the rest of .Nx or to upgrade a previous version of .Nx . This includes formatting and mounting your .Pa / (root) and .Pa /usr partitions and getting ready to extract (and possibly first fetching) the distribution sets. There is enough on this file system to allow you to make a SLIP or PPP connection, configure an Ethernet, mount an NFS file system or ftp. You can also load distribution sets from a SCSI tape or from one of your existing .Tn AmigaDOS partitions. .tag) . . .Ss2 Binary distribution sets The .Nx \*M binary distribution sets contain the binaries which comprise the .Nx \*V release for \*M. The binary distribution sets can be found in the .Pa \*M/binary/sets subdirectory of the .Nx \*V distribution tree, and are as follows: .\" .\" XXX: most sets except kern and xserver should be shared .\" .(tag xserver \" sets . .It Sy base The .Nx \*V \*M .Sy base 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 Sy comp Things needed for compiling programs. This set includes the system include files .Pq 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. . .It Sy debug This distribution set contains debug information for all base system utilities. It is usefull when reporting issues with binaries or during developement. This set is huge, if the target disk is small, do not install it. . .It Sy etc This distribution set contains the system configuration files that reside in .Pa /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. . .It Sy games This set includes the games and their manual pages. . .\" Kernel set(s) . .It Sy kern-GENERIC This set contains a .Nx*M \*V .Li GENERIC kernel, named .Pa /netbsd . You .Em must install this distribution set. . .It Sy man This set includes all of the manual pages for the binaries and other software contained in the .Sy base set. Note that it does not include any of the manual pages that are included in the other sets. . .It Sy misc This set includes the system dictionaries, the typesettable document set, and other files from .Pa /usr/share . . .It Sy modules This set includes kernel modules to add functionality to a running system. . .It Sy text This set includes .Nx Ns 's text processing tools, including .Xr groff 1 , all related programs, and their manual pages. . .tag) \" sets . . .\" ---------------------------- X SETS .Pp .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 4.5.0. Binary sets for the X Window System are distributed with .Nx . The sets are: .(tag xserver \" x sets . .It Sy xbase The basic files needed for a complete X client environment. This does not include the X servers. . .It Sy xcomp The extra libraries and include files needed to compile X source code. . .It Sy xdebug This distribution set contains debug information for all X11 binaries. It is usefull when reporting issues with these binaries or during developement. This set is huge, if the target disk is small, do not install it. . .It Sy xfont Fonts needed by the X server and by X clients. . .It Sy xetc Configuration files for X which could be locally modified. . .It Sy xserver The X server. . .tag) \" x sets . . .\" ---------------------------- MI DISCUSSION OF BINARY SETS . . .Pp The \*M binary distribution sets are distributed as gzipped tar files named with the extension .Sy .tgz , e.g. .Pa base.tgz . . . .Pp 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 filenames stored in the sets are relative and therefore the files are extracted .Em below the current directory . Therefore, if you want to extract the binaries into your system, i.e. replace the system binaries with them, you have to run the .Ic "tar -xzpf" command from the root directory ( .Pa / ) of your system. . . .\" ---------------------------- MD DISCUSSION . .
