This is the file "getting-NetBSD" from the NetBSD-Amiga distribution. It describes the possible ways of getting NetBSD-Amiga. It was last updated on 26. July 1994. The current maintainer of this file is Guenther Grau (s_grau@ira.uka.de). Please report any additional sites or changes to the listed sites to me. This helps to keep the list up to date. 1. Obtaining NetBSD-Amiga Currently it is only possible to get NetBSD-Amiga via o Ftp o BBS This situation may change in the future, because Ty Sarna (tsarna@endicor.com) will eventually produce a CD-ROM. DON'T write to him and ask him, when this CD-ROM will be released. There is no time set for this CD to be available, because we cannot say, when such a distribution will be useful. Currently the kernel changes quite fast, so a CD-ROM might get old very quickly :-) If there is enough demand, Guenther Grau (s_grau@ira.uka.de) is willing to distribute NetBSD-Amiga in Europe on several different media, including tapes and magneto-optical discs. A distribution on Floppy-Disks is quite unlikely, but if enough people want it, he might be willing to set up even a floppy-distribution, as he wants NetBSD-Amiga being available to the largest community possible. So, if you want to obtain NetBSD via any media in Europe, please write to him and tell him exactly, what media you would like. 2. Ftp-lists 2.1. Ftp-list for NetBSD-Amiga NetBSD-Amiga was not written from scratch but is a port of the NetBSD-current sources from sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu. To start his port Markus Wild took a snapshot of this archive and made all the necessary changes to get it run on the Amiga. He didn't reintegrate his changes to the sources, because he wanted to be sure to have everything working stable before doing so. About half a year after the initial port, things had settled down a bit and almost everything seemed to work stable. Chris Hopps (chopps@emunix.emich.edu) begun to reintegrate the changes that were made back into the main-source-tree. Therefore every mirror of NetBSD-current should now also contain the current sources for NetBSD-Amiga. In theory you only have to get the whole source tree, do a 'config AMIGA' and 'make' and then wait for the new system to be built. This should provide you with the current kernel and all the current binaries the come with NetBSD-current. Therefore the old mirror-sites for NetBSD-Amiga will not carry any sources of the system any longer. Instead they will carry the sources and sometimes binaries for Amiga-specific applications like X-Windows server and clients and so on. I tried to compose two ftp-lists. The first one lists all the mirror sites of sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu and the second one lists all NetBSD-Amiga specific sites.
