As a purchaser of the OpenBSD CD-ROM you already have several popular
``packages'', the ``ports'' collection, and some of the ``ports''
source file releases.

Installing applications from the CD-ROM package collection:

	The OpenBSD CD-ROM ships with several applications pre-built
	for various hardware architectures.  The number of applications
	vary according to available disk space.  Check the directory
	6.0/packages/<arch> to see which packages are available for
	your hardware architecture.

	To install one or more of these packages you must
	1) become the superuser (root)
	2) mount the appropriate CD-ROM
	3) use the ``pkg_add'' command to install the software

	Example (in which we use su(1) to get superuser privileges, thus
	you have to be in group "wheel", see the manual page for su(1)).

    $ su
    Password: <enter your root password>
    # mkdir -p /cdrom
    # mount /dev/cd0a /cdrom
    # cd /cdrom/6.0/packages/<arch>
    # pkg_add <package-name1> <package-name2> ...
    # <add more packages if desired>
    # umount /cdrom
	
	Your hardware architecture can be determined by issuing
	the command ``arch''.  The response will be something like
	``OpenBSD.sparc''.  ``sparc'' is the architecture.

	Package names are usually the application name and version
	with .tgz appended, e.g. emacs-21.4p27.tgz

Installing applications from the ftp.openbsd.org package collection:

	All packages have been placed on ftp.openbsd.org in the directory
	pub/OpenBSD/6.0/packages/<arch>/ where <arch> is the supported
	hardware architecture.  You may want to peruse the directory for
	your architecture to see what packages are available.
	The full set of packages is on all of the OpenBSD FTP
	mirror sites.  See

		http://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html

	for a list of current ftp mirror sites.

	For each architecture, a "pkglocatedb" file is also included,
	which is a locate(1) database indexing the contents of all
	packages found in the FTP directory.  This can help you
	identify which package contains a program you are looking
	for, for example:

    $ locate -d /cdrom/6.0/packages/<arch>/pkglocatedb plaympeg
    smpeg-0.4.4p12:/usr/local/bin/plaympeg
    smpeg-0.4.4p12:/usr/local/man/man1/plaympeg.1

	Installation of a package is very easy.
	1) become the superuser (root)
	2) use the ``pkg_add'' command to install the software

	``pkg_add'' is smart enough to know how to download the software
	from the OpenBSD ftp server.  Example:

    $ su
    Password: <enter your root password>
    # pkg_add ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.0/packages/<arch>/emacs-21.4p27.tgz

Installing applications from the OpenBSD ports collection:

	See http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html for current instructions
	on obtaining and installing OpenBSD ports.

Installing other applications:

	If an OpenBSD package or port does not exist for an application
	you're pretty much on your own.  The first thing to do is ask
	ports@openbsd.org if anyone is working on a port -- there may
	be one in progress.  If you don't have any luck there, you may
	be able to adapt one from the FreeBSD ports or NetBSD package
	collection.

	If you can't find an existing port try to make your own and
	feed it back to OpenBSD.  That's how our ports collection grows.
	Some details can be found at http://www.openbsd.org/faq/ports/
	with more help coming from the mailing list, ports@openbsd.org.
