    The release is also available at the master site:

    https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.6/ 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 HTTPS mirror site and go into the directory
    pub/OpenBSD/6.6/ which contains these files and directories.
    This is a list of what you will see:

    ANNOUNCEMENT arm64/ luna88k/ ports.tar.gz
    README armv7/ macppc/ root.mail
    SHA256 hppa/ octeon/ sparc64/
    SHA256.sig i386/ openbsd-66-base.pub src.tar.gz
    alpha/ landisk/ packages/ sys.tar.gz
    amd64/ loongson/ packages-stable/ xenocara.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
    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, amd64. This is a list of what you will see:

    BOOTIA32.EFI* bsd* floppy66.fs pxeboot*
    BOOTX64.EFI* bsd.mp* game66.tgz xbase66.tgz
    BUILDINFO bsd.rd* index.txt xfont66.tgz
    INSTALL.amd64 cd66.iso install66.fs xserv66.tgz
    SHA256 cdboot* install66.iso xshare66.tgz
    SHA256.sig cdbr* man66.tgz
    base66.tgz comp66.tgz miniroot66.fs

    If you are new to OpenBSD, fetch _at least_ the file INSTALL.amd64
    and install66.iso. The install66.iso file (roughly 463MB in size)
    is a one-step ISO-format install CD image which contains the various
    *.tgz files so you do not need to fetch them separately.

    If you prefer to use a USB flash drive, fetch install66.fs and
    follow the instructions in INSTALL.amd64.

    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.amd64. INSTALL.amd64 may tell you that you
    need to fetch other files.

    6) Just in case, take a peek at:

    https://www.OpenBSD.org/errata.html

    This is the page where we talk about the mistakes we made while
    creating the 6.6 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.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    - X.ORG FOR MOST ARCHITECTURES -----------------------------------------

    X.Org has been integrated more closely into the system. This release
    contains X.Org 7.7. Most of our architectures ship with X.Org, including amd64, sparc64 and macppc. During installation, you can install X.Org
    quite easily using xenodm(1), our simplified X11 display manager forked
    from xdm(1).

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    - PACKAGES AND PORTS ---------------------------------------------------

    Many third party software applications have been ported to OpenBSD and
    can be installed as pre-compiled binary packages on the various OpenBSD architectures. Please see https://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html for
    more information on working with packages and ports.

    Note: a few popular ports, e.g., NSD, Unbound, and several X
    applications, come standard with OpenBSD and do not need to be installed separately.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    - SYSTEM SOURCE CODE ---------------------------------------------------

    The source code for all four subsystems can be found in the
    pub/OpenBSD/6.6/ directory:

    xenocara.tar.gz ports.tar.gz src.tar.gz sys.tar.gz

    The README (https://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.6/README) file
    explains how to deal with these source files.

    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 bought our previous CD sets. Those who did not
    support us financially have still helped us with our goal of improving
    the quality of the software.
