<h3>What's New</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
This is a partial list of new features and systems included in OpenBSD 2.7.
|
|
For a comprehensive list, see the <a href=plus27.html>changelog</a> leading
|
|
to 2.7.
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="https://www.OpenSSH.com">OpenSSH</a> now supports both the
|
|
SSH1 and SSH2 protocols. The SSH2 protocol is slowly gaining
|
|
acceptance. Up until recently, SSH2 was just available in various
|
|
commercial offerings. The benefit with SSH2 is that it avoids the RSA
|
|
cipher and uses DSA instead, which is freely reusable. The downside
|
|
is that DSA is not nearly as fast on old slow machines. But since
|
|
OpenSSH still supports SSH1 protocol (if the RSA libraries are
|
|
installed) our users get the best of both worlds.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<li>The clever trick used in 2.6 remains, allowing us to distribute
|
|
the same CD-ROM worldwide containing full strength crypto without
|
|
violating the RSA patent in the USA. The next OpenBSD release will
|
|
ship with RSA support in the operating system by default, since the
|
|
patent expires on September 21, 2000.
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<li>Extensive changes to the documentation, notably the man pages and
|
|
the Web FAQ. The manual pages now include useful examples to
|
|
supplement the explanations.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<li>More complete collection and better tested set of "ports".
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<li>Over 500 pre-built and tested packages.
|
|
<p>
|

<h3>How to install</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Following this are the instructions which you would have on a piece of
|
|
paper if you had purchased a CDROM set instead of doing an alternate
|
|
form of install. The instructions for doing an ftp (or other style
|
|
of) install are very similar; the CDROM instructions are left intact
|
|
so that you can see how much easier it would have been if you had
|
|
purchased a CDROM instead.
|
|
|
|
<hr>
|

Please refer to the following files on the two CDROMs for extensive
|
|

<section id=quickinstall>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Quick installer information for people familiar with OpenBSD, and the
|
|
use of the new "disklabel -E" command. If you are at all confused when
|
|
installing OpenBSD, read the relevant INSTALL.* file as listed above!
|
|
|
|
<h3>OpenBSD/i386:</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Play with your BIOS options, and see if you can enable booting off a
|
|
CD; try using CD1. If not, write CD1:2.7/i386/floppy27.fs to a
|
|
floppy, then boot that. If you are mixing OpenBSD with another
|
|
operating system, you will surely need to read the INSTALL.i386
|
|
document.
|
|
<p>
|
|
To make a floppy under MS-DOS, use /2.7/tools/rawrite.exe. Under
|
|
Unix, use "dd if=<file> of=/dev/<device> bs=32k" (where device could
|
|
be "floppy" or "rfd0c" or "rfd0a"). Use properly formatted perfect
|
|
floppies with NO BAD BLOCKS or you will lose.
|
|
|
|
<h3>OpenBSD/sparc:</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To boot off CD2, type "boot cdrom 2.7/sparc/bsd.rd", or
|
|
"b sd(0,6,0)2.7/sparc/bsd.rd" depending on your ROM version.
|
|
Alternatively, write CD2:2.7/sparc/floppy27.fs to a floppy and boot it
|
|
using "boot floppy" or "boot fd()" depending on your ROM version.
|
|
Finally, a third alternative is to write CD2:2.7/sparc/kc.fs and
|
|
CD2:2.7/sparc/inst.fs to two separate floppies. Then insert "kc.fs",
|
|
and boot as described above. As soon as the floppy drive ejects a
|
|
floppy, insert "inst.fs". Answer a bunch of questions. Reboot from
|
|
the "kc.fs" floppy. This time, when the floppy is ejected simply
|
|
re-insert "kc.fs" again and answer a different set of questions.
|
|
|
|
<h3>OpenBSD/amiga:</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Create BSD partitions according to INSTALL.amiga's preparation section.
|
|
Mount the CD2 under AmigaOS as device CD0: Next, execute the following
|
|
CLI command: "CD0:2.7/amiga/utils/loadbsd CD0:2.7/amiga/bsd.rd".
|
|
|
|
<h3>OpenBSD/hp300:</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can boot over the network by following the instructions in
|
|
INSTALL.hp300.
|
|
|
|
<h3>OpenBSD/mac68k:</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Boot MacOS as normal and partition your disk with the appropriate A/UX
|
|
configurations. Then, extract the Macside utilities from
|
|
CD1:2.7/mac68k/utils onto your hard disk. Run Mkfs to create your
|
|
filesystems on the A/UX partitions you just made. Then, use the
|
|
BSD/Mac68k Installer to copy all the sets in CD1:2.7/mac68k/ onto your
|
|
partitions. Finally, you will be ready to configure the BSD/Mac68k
|
|
Booter with the location of your kernel and boot the system.
|
|
|
|
<h3>OpenBSD/sun3:</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Get the release via ftp. Then, you can either setup a diskless boot or
|
|
create an installation tape, as described in INSTALL.sun3.

<h3>Notes about the source code</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<code>src.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src</code>.
|
|
This file contains everything you need except for the kernel sources, which are
|
|
in a separate archive. To extract:
|
|
<blockquote><pre>
|
|
# <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src</kbd>
|
|
# <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
|
|
# <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/src.tar.gz</kbd>
|
|
</pre></blockquote>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<code>sys.tar.gz</code> contains a source archive starting at <code>/usr/src/sys</code>.
|
|
This file contains all the kernel sources you need to rebuild kernels.
|
|
To extract:
|
|
<blockquote><pre>
|
|
# <kbd>mkdir -p /usr/src/sys</kbd>
|
|
# <kbd>cd /usr/src</kbd>
|
|
# <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/srcsys.tar.gz</kbd>
|
|
</pre></blockquote>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Both of these trees are a regular CVS checkout. Using these trees it
|
|
is possible to get a head-start on using the anoncvs servers as
|
|
described <a href="anoncvs.html">here</a>.
|
|
Using these files
|
|
results in a much faster initial CVS update than you could expect from
|
|
a fresh checkout of the full OpenBSD source tree.

<h3>Ports Tree</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A ports tree archive is also provided. To extract:
|
|
<blockquote><pre>
|
|
# <kbd>cd /usr</kbd>
|
|
# <kbd>tar xvfz /tmp/ports.tar.gz</kbd>
|
|
</pre></blockquote>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The ports/ subdirectory is a checkout of the OpenBSD ports tree. Go
|
|
read <a href="faq/faq15.html">https://www.OpenBSD.org/faq/faq15.html</a>
|
|
if you know nothing about ports
|
|
at this point. This text is not a manual of how to use ports.
|
|
Rather, it is a set of notes meant to kickstart the user on the
|
|
OpenBSD ports system.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Certainly, the OpenBSD ports system is not complete. This is because
|
|
the full integration of ports into the OpenBSD environment is still a
|
|
young project as of this release. We believe the ports that are
|
|
provided here are stable, but it is most important to realize that
|
|
ports will continue to grow a great deal in functionality in the
|
|
future.
|
|
<p>
|
|
As we said, ports will be growing a lot in the future. The ports/
|
|
directory represents a CVS (see the manpage for cvs(1) if you aren't
|
|
familiar with CVS) checkout of our ports. As with our complete source
|
|
tree, our ports tree is available via anoncvs. So, in
|
|
order to keep current with it, you must make the ports/ tree
|
|
available on a read-write medium and update the tree with a command
|
|
like:
|
|
<blockquote><pre>
|
|
# <kbd>cd [portsdir]/; cvs -d anoncvs@server.openbsd.org:/cvs update -Pd</kbd>
|
|
</pre></blockquote>
|
|
<p>
|
|
[Of course, you must replace the local directory and server name here
|
|
with the location of your ports collection and a nearby anoncvs
|
|
server.]
|
|
<p>
|
|
Again, it is important to see the webpage for specific instructions as
|
|
this is a new service which hasn't yet been ironed out
|
|
completely.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Finally, despite ports' youth, help is never far. If you're
|
|
interested in seeing a port added, would like to help out, or just
|
|
would like to know more, the mailing list
|
|
<a href="mail.html">ports@openbsd.org</a> is a good place to know.
