All defaults except for game57.tgz (from install57.iso burned to CD-ROM;
checksums OK)

PKG_PATH set to */pub/OpenBSD/5.7/packages/amd64/
Where * is one of:
mirrors.sonic.net
ftp3.usa.openbsd.org
ftp.openbsd.org
One mirror for each install attempt.

*/pub/OpenBSD/5.7/{src,sys,xenocara}.tgz
Where * is one of:
mirrors.sonic.net
ftp3.usa.openbsd.org
ftp.openbsd.org
[Same server as package source]

sudo su -
mg /etc/sudoers -- added self
mg ~/.profile -- added PKG_PATH
exit
sudo su -
xdm -- start X11; invoke dillo; download {src,sys,xenocara}.tar.gz
-- ..from ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.7
-- in Xterm
sudo su -
cd /usr
tar xvfs /tmp/src.tar.gz
cd src
tar xvfz /tmp/sys.tar.gz -- error end of archive
cd /usr
*-> Abort trap
AH! The light dawns.
Unlike {sys,xenocara}.tar.gz, src.tar.gz does not unpack in its own directory!
Well, yes, that will trash things.
cd /usr/src, then tar and the system works much better!
Thanks much!!
