We provide patches for known security threats and other important issues discovered after each CD release. As usual, between the creation of the OpenBSD 4.5 FTP/CD-ROM binaries and the actual 4.5 release date, our team found and fixed some new reliability problems (note: most are minor and in subsystems that are not enabled by default). Our continued research into security means we will find new security problems -- and we always provide patches as soon as possible. Therefore, we advise regular visits to http://www.OpenBSD.org/security.html and http://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html Security patch announcements are sent to the security-annou...@openbsd.org mailing list. For information on OpenBSD mailing lists, please see: http://www.OpenBSD.org/mail.html OpenBSD 4.5 is also available on CD-ROM. The 3-CD set costs $50 CDN and is available via mail order and from a number of contacts around the world. The set includes a colourful booklet which carefully explains the installation of OpenBSD. A new set of cute little stickers is also included (sorry, but our FTP mirror sites do not support STP, the Sticker Transfer Protocol). As an added bonus, the second CD contains an audio track, a song entitled "Games". MP3 and OGG versions of the audio track can be found on the first CD. Lyrics (and an explanation) for the songs may be found at: http://www.OpenBSD.org/lyrics.html#45 Profits from CD sales are the primary income source for the OpenBSD project -- in essence selling these CD-ROM units ensures that OpenBSD will continue to make another release six months from now. The OpenBSD 4.5 CD-ROMs are bootable on the following four platforms: o i386 o amd64 o macppc o sparc64 (Other platforms must boot from floppy, network, or other method). For more information on ordering CD-ROMs, see: http://www.OpenBSD.org/orders.html The above web page lists a number of places where OpenBSD CD-ROMs can be purchased from. For our default mail order, go directly to: https://https.OpenBSD.org/cgi-bin/order All of our developers strongly urge you to buy a CD-ROM and support our future efforts. Additionally, donations to the project are highly appreciated, as described in more detail at: http://www.OpenBSD.org/goals.html#funding For those unable to make their contributions as straightforward gifts, the OpenBSD Foundation (http://www.openbsdfoundation.org) is a Canadian not-for-profit corporation that can accept larger contributions and issue receipts. In some situations, their receipt may qualify as a business expense writeoff, so this is certainly a consideration for some organizations or businesses. There may also be exposure benefits since the Foundation may be interested in participating in press releases. In turn, the Foundation then uses these contributions to assist OpenBSD's infrastructure needs. Contact the foundation directors at direct...@openbsdfoundation.org for more information. The OpenBSD distribution companies also sell tshirts and polo shirts. And our users like them too. We have a variety of shirts available, with the new and old designs, from our web ordering system at, as described above. The OpenBSD 4.5 t-shirts are available now. We also sell our older shirts, as well as a selection of OpenSSH t-shirts. If you choose not to buy an OpenBSD CD-ROM, OpenBSD can be easily installed via FTP. Typically you need a single small piece of boot media (e.g., a boot floppy) and then the rest of the files can be installed from a number of locations, including directly off the Internet. Follow this simple set of instructions to ensure that you find all of the documentation you will need while performing an install via FTP. With the CD-ROMs, the necessary documentation is easier to find. 1) Read either of the following two files for a list of ftp mirrors which provide OpenBSD, then choose one near you: http://www.OpenBSD.org/ftp.html ftp://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.5/ftplist As of May 1, 2009, the following ftp mirror sites have the 4.5 release: ftp://ftp.stacken.kth.se/pub/OpenBSD/4.5/ Sweden ftp://ftp2.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.5/ NYC, USA ftp://ftp3.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.5/ CO, USA ftp://ftp5.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.5/ CA, USA ftp://rt.fm/pub/OpenBSD/4.5/ IL, USA The release is also available at the master site: ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.5/ Alberta, Canada However it is strongly suggested you use a mirror. Other mirror sites may take a day or two to update. 2) Connect to that ftp mirror site and go into the directory pub/OpenBSD/4.5/ which contains these files and directories. This is a list of what you will see: ANNOUNCEMENT amd64/ macppc/ sys.tar.gz Changelogs/ armish/ mvme68k/ tools/ HARDWARE ftplist packages/ vax/ PACKAGES hp300/ ports.tar.gz xenocara.tar.gz PORTS hppa/ root.mail zaurus/ README i386/ sparc/ SIZES landisk/ sparc64/ alpha/ mac68k/ 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 cd45.iso floppyB45.fs pxeboot* INSTALL.linux cdboot* floppyC45.fs xbase45.tgz MD5 cdbr* game45.tgz xetc45.tgz base45.tgz cdemu45.iso index.txt xfont45.tgz bsd* comp45.tgz install45.iso xserv45.tgz bsd.mp* etc45.tgz man45.tgz xshare45.tgz bsd.rd* floppy45.fs misc45.tgz If you are new to OpenBSD, fetch _at least_ the file INSTALL.i386 and the appropriate floppy*.fs or install45.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 install45.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 4.5 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/4.5/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 4.5 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/4.5/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/4.5/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/4.5/ directory: xenocara.tar.gz ports.tar.gz src.tar.gz sys.tar.gz OpenBSD 4.5 includes artwork and CD artistic layout by Ty Semaka, who also arranged an audio track on the OpenBSD 4.5 CD set. 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 4.5 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.
