This disk contains the GNU and X11R5 distribution.  It also contains
executable sparc binaries for many GNU and X11R5 programs.

Please check individual files for copyrights and distribution restrictions.
===========================================================================
The Gnu source code is located in the directory gnu/.  Please read the
file gnu/copying for information on the Gnu General Public License.
Most of the Gnu programs have individual README files.  Gnu software is
also available via anonymous ftp from prep.ai.mit.edu.

X11 sources are located in these directories:

        X11R5/mit/               X11R5 core sources
        X11R5/contrib/           X11R5 user contributed sources
        contrib/                 more X11 user contributed sources

Sparc specific files are located in these directories:

	usr/lib/x11/             X11R5 sparc libraries
	usr/bin/x11/             X11R5 sparc binaries

The X11R5 distribution is also available via anonymous ftp from
export.lcs.mit.edu.  See the file X11R5/README for more information.

===========================================================================
This disc conforms to the level 1 ISO-9660 format with Rock Ridge extensions.
If your operating system supports Rock Ridge, you can access the files using
the full Unix pathnames.  If your system does not support Rock Ridge, the
filenames are limited to eight single-case characters, with an extension of
up to three characters.  Each directory on this disc has a file named
00_TRANS.TBL, that maps the ISO-9660 compliant filenames to the original,
Unix-style, filenames.

The program copydir is provided for non-Rock-Ridge systems to access the
files using their original filenames.  You can recursively copy a directory
to your magnetic disk, renaming the files as they are copied.  You can also
create symbolic links from your magnetic disk to each of the files on the
cdrom.  If you are using a system other than a sparc, you should recompile
the file copydir.c located in the toplevel directory.

If you invoke copydir without any argments, it will print the following
usage message:

	usage: copydir [-s] [-l] [-t] [-f] <from-dir> <to-dir>
	Recursively copy a directory from cdrom
	   -s  (silent) Suppress messages
	   -l  (link)   Make symlinks instead of copying
	   -t  (test)   Don't actually do anything
	   -f  (force)  Don't stop because of errors

Here are a couple examples.  Let's say you wanted to copy the source code
for gcc to your home directory.

	> cd ~
	> copydir /cdrom/src/gnu/gcc_2_3_ gcc-2.3.1
	> cd gcc-2.3.1

If you want to save some disk space, you can create symbolic links to
the files, instead of copying them.

	> cd ~
	> copydir -l /cdrom/src/gnu/gcc_2_3_ gcc-2.3.1
	> cd gcc-2.3.1

There is also a minimal shell script, copydir.sh, but the compiled C
program is faster, has more options, and handles errors better.

Sparc executable binaries are located in /usr/bin/X11/, /usr/lib/, and
/usr/local/bin/.

To install them on your sun4:

	> copydir /cdrom/bin/x11 /usr/bin/X11
	> copydir /cdrom/lib/x11 /usr/lib
	> copydir /cdrom/local/bin /usr/local/bin

Make sure that /usr/bin/X11 and /usr/local/bin are on your path.
