Description of files found in .../NetBSD-1.1/i386/binary: Every directory contains a CKSUMS file that contains checksums of all the other files made with the cksum(1) utility. Please check the integrity of your distribution if possible. The "Tarfiles" directory contains the gzip compressed tar files of the binary distribution -- the split versions of these same files are located in directories described below. The contents of these files are described fully in the INSTALL document. Note that these tar files are provided for your convenience and that the installation scripts provided on the boot floppies do not know how to use them. The directories with names ending in 11 (i.e. base11 comp11 etc11 games11 man11 misc11 text11) contain split versions of the distribution tar files. These are split to permit installation from floppy disks but it is intended that they be used for all installation methods. See INSTALL for details. Note that the installation scripts expect to use these split files regardless of whether you loaded your system from floppy, tape or over the network. The "Kernels" directory contains two generic kernels which support a wide variety of devices -- one contains support for Adaptec SCSI controllers and the other contains support for all other SCSI controllers. Because of space constraints, the kernels on the kernel copy floppies (in .../NetBSD-1.1/i386/floppies) do not contain full generic kernels, and you may wish to install one of these kernels following the completion of the install proceedure if you cannot build your own custom kernel. See INSTALL for details. Note that you are encouraged to build your own custom kernel and that these are provided only for those that cannot do so because of space or similar constraints. 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.
