Jerijian) Subject: PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS: NetBSD/i386 Needed Sender: news@seas.ucla.edu (News Daemon) Message-ID: <CxKE30.EGv@seas.ucla.edu> Date: Wed, 12 Oct 1994 14:40:11 GMT Organization: School of Engineering & Applied Science, UCLA. X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Keywords: NetBSD, i386, locate Lines: 20 Good Morning, I sent a post to this newsgroup last week, but NOBODY wanted to reply to me for some reason. Well, here I go again: Does anybody know where the binary distribution, including docs and installation floppies, for NetBSD/i386 is? I check the file /NetBSD/NetBSD-current/doc/README.files in sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu, but it lied to me. There is no "binaries" of "floppies" directory in place, like the file says. I also tried [etcetera]/arch/i386, but there are only binaries there, without install floppies or decent installation instructions. So, HOW DO I INSTALL NETBSD 1.0 ON MY 486, ASSUMING THAT I ONLY HAVE MS/DOS IN MY SOFTWARE COLLECTION? Whew! Thank you very much for your help.
