- Description of files found in .../NetBSD-1.3/amiga/binary/sets:
-
- This directory contains the gzip compressed tar files of the binary
- distribution. The contents of these files are described fully in the
- INSTALL document. Note that you may use the unsplit versions in your
- installation with the supplied tools if you wish.
-
- The Split/ directory contains split versions of these same files.
- These are provided to permit installation from floppy disks for those
- with no other means of installation. See INSTALL for details. Note
- that this method of installation is extremely laborious and not
- recommended if any other alternative exists.
-
- Note that the binary distribution of security related software is
- contained elsewhere in a parallel directory on those distribution
- sites that have it. If you are in a place where you can legally get it
- (i.e. the United States), you should get and install the security
- software, too. See INSTALL and the numerous README.export-control
- files for details.
-
- Every directory contains several checksum files (BSDSUM, CKSUM, MD5, &
- SYSVSUM) that contain checksums of all the other files made with the
- cksum(1) utility. The MD5 checksums made with "cksum -m" are
- considered the "safest", followed by the CKSUM POSIX-style checksums
- made with the plain "cksum" command. Please check the integrity of
- your distribution against one of these sets of checksums if
- possible. The BSDSUM and SYSVSUM files contain checksums made with the
- historical BSD and System V checksum utilities and are provided for
- those with no other checksum utilities available.
