>        Changelogs/      ftplist          mvme88k/         src.tar.gz

>   It is quite likely that you will want at LEAST the following
>   files which apply to all the architectures OpenBSD supports.
>
>        README          - generic README
>        HARDWARE        - list of hardware we support
>        PORTS           - description of our "ports" tree
>        PACKAGES        - description of pre-compiled packages
>        root.mail       - a copy of root's mail at initial login.
>                          (This is really worthwhile reading).
>
> 3) Read the README file.  It is short, and a quick read will make
>   sure you understand what else you need to fetch.
>
> 4) Next, go into the directory that applies to your architecture,
>   for example, i386.  This is a list of what you will see:
>
>        INSTALL.i386    cd47.iso        floppyB47.fs    pxeboot*
>        INSTALL.linux   cdboot*         floppyC47.fs    xbase47.tgz
>        MD5             cdbr*           game47.tgz      xetc47.tgz
>        base47.tgz      cdemu47.iso     index.txt       xfont47.tgz
>        bsd*            comp47.tgz      install47.iso   xserv47.tgz
>        bsd.mp*         etc47.tgz       man47.tgz       xshare47.tgz
>        bsd.rd*         floppy47.fs     misc47.tgz
>
>   If you are new to OpenBSD, fetch _at least_ the file INSTALL.i386
>   and the appropriate floppy*.fs or install47.iso files.  Consult the
>   INSTALL.i386 file if you don't know which of the floppy images
>   you need (or simply fetch all of them).
>
>   If you use the install47.iso file (roughly 200MB in size), then you
>   do not need the various *.tgz files since they are contained on that
>   one-step ISO-format install CD.
>
> 5) If you are an expert, follow the instructions in the file called
>   README; otherwise, use the more complete instructions in the
>   file called INSTALL.i386.  INSTALL.i386 may tell you that you
>   need to fetch other files.
>
> 6) Just in case, take a peek at:
>
>        http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html
>
>   This is the page where we talk about the mistakes we made while
>   creating the 4.7 release, or the significant bugs we fixed
>   post-release which we think our users should have fixes for.
>   Patches and workarounds are clearly described there.
>
> Note: If you end up needing to write a raw floppy using Windows,
>      you can use "fdimage.exe" located in the pub/OpenBSD/4.7/tools
>      directory to do so.
> X.Org has been integrated more closely into the system.  This release
> contains X.Org 7.4.  Most of our architectures ship with X.Org, including
> amd64, sparc, sparc64 and macppc.  During installation, you can install
> X.Org quite easily.  Be sure to try out xdm(1) and see how we have
> customized it for OpenBSD.
> The OpenBSD ports tree contains automated instructions for building
> third party software.  The software has been verified to build and
> run on the various OpenBSD architectures.  The 4.7 ports collection,
> including many of the distribution files, is included on the 3-CD
> set.  Please see the PORTS file for more information.
>
> Note: some of the most popular ports, e.g., the Apache web server
> and several X applications, come standard with OpenBSD.  Also, many
> popular ports have been pre-compiled for those who do not desire
> to build their own binaries (see BINARY PACKAGES, below).
> A large number of binary packages are provided.  Please see the PACKAGES
> file (ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.7/PACKAGES) for more details.
> The CD-ROMs contain source code for all the subsystems explained
> above, and the README (ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.7/README)
> file explains how to deal with these source files.  For those who
> are doing an FTP install, the source code for all four subsystems
> can be found in the pub/OpenBSD/4.7/ directory:
>
>        xenocara.tar.gz     ports.tar.gz   src.tar.gz     sys.tar.gz
> Ports tree and package building by Jasper Lievisse Adriaanse, Michael
Erdely,
> Simon Bertrang, Stuart Henderson, Antoine Jacoutot, Robert Nagy,
> Nikolay Sturm, and Christian Weisgerber.  System builds by Theo de Raadt,
> Mark Kettenis, and Miod Vallat.  X11 builds by Todd Fries and Miod Vallat.
> ISO-9660 filesystem layout by Theo de Raadt.

> We would like to thank all of the people who sent in bug reports, bug
> fixes, donation cheques, and hardware that we use.  We would also like
> to thank those who pre-ordered the 4.7 CD-ROM or bought our previous
> CD-ROMs.  Those who did not support us financially have still helped
> us with our goal of improving the quality of the software.
