- Hello,
-
- You are now in the 'home' directory of the NetBSD/Atari release,
- further referred to as $HOME in this README. This directory tree
- contains the NetBSD/Atari-1.1 release.
-
- A quick overview of the directory structure:
-
- - floppies :
- This directory contains the images for the boot and
- install floppies. This directory also contains the
- installation document 'INSTALL'. This document describes
- how the installation and update procedures work. You
- should read this document _before_ doing anything!
-
- - binary:
- This directory contains the binary distrubition sets.
-
- - kernels:
- This directory contains the available kernels. Note that
- the 'BOOT.gz' kernel is the same as the one on the boot
- floppy.
- - security:
- This directory contains the binaries that include DES
- software. As I can't build them myself according to
- US-law, I merely copied them from the amiga distribution
- for completeness.
- - utils.tos:
- This directory contains various TOS utilities needed
- to install NetBSD/Atari that are not on the boot floppy.
-
- - utils.NetBSD:
- Some utilities that might come in handy.
-
- Most, if not all, files have the '.gz' extension. They are 'gzipped' and
- can be unpacked using 'gzip'. There is also a gzip.ttp available in
- 'utils.tos'.
-
- If you are wondering how the floppy images found here can be put on
- floppy using TOS, grab 'rawwrite' from the "utils.tos" directory and look
- in INSTALL how to use it.
-
- You are advised to browse through the various 'README' files.
-
- There exists a FAQ for NetBSD/Atari. It can be found at ftp.netbsd.org
- in the directory: /pub/NetBSD/arch/atari . Please read it before
- sending out questions to either the mailing-list or me. Your problem
- might be solved there. If it is not, you can ask it on the mailing
- list. You can subscribe to it by sending a mail with body text
- "subscribe port-atari" to majordom@NetBSD.ORG.
-
- If you have a TT or Falcon without FPU, you should replace the kernel
- on the bootfloppy with the kernel 'BOOT-fpe.gz' from the kernels
- directory.
-
- Last, if you have seen any errors or think something is unclear or
- have updates/replacements for certain sections, drop me a mail. All
- contributions are welcome!
-
- Good luck!
