- SECURITY AND ERRATA --------------------------------------------------

We provide patches for known security threats and other important
issues discovered after each release. 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

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

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- MAILING LISTS AND FAQ ------------------------------------------------

Mailing lists are an important means of communication among users and developers of OpenBSD. For information on OpenBSD mailing lists, please
see:

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

You are also encouraged to read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) at:

https://www.OpenBSD.org/faq/

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- DONATIONS ------------------------------------------------------------

The OpenBSD Project is a volunteer-driven software group funded by
donations. Besides OpenBSD itself, we also develop important software
like OpenSSH, LibreSSL, OpenNTPD, OpenSMTPD, the ubiquitous pf packet
filter, the quality work of our ports development process, and many
others. This ecosystem is all handled under the same funding umbrella.

We hope our quality software will result in contributions that maintain
our build/development infrastructure, pay our electrical/internet costs,
and allow us to continue operating very productive developer hackathon
events.

All of our developers strongly urge you to donate and support our future efforts. Donations to the project are highly appreciated, and are
described in more detail at:

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

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- OPENBSD FOUNDATION ---------------------------------------------------

For those unable to make their contributions as straightforward gifts,
the OpenBSD Foundation (https://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 write-off, 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 directors@openbsdfoundation.org for
more information.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- HTTPS INSTALLS -------------------------------------------------------

OpenBSD can be easily installed via HTTPS downloads. Typically you need
a single small piece of boot media (e.g., a USB flash drive) 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 HTTPS.

1) Read either of the following two files for a list of HTTPS mirrors
which provide OpenBSD, then choose one near you:

https://www.OpenBSD.org/ftp.html
https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/ftplist

As of April 5, 2024, the following HTTPS mirror sites have the
7.5 release:

https://cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.5/ Global
https://ftp.eu.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.5/ Stockholm, Swed=
en
https://ftp.hostserver.de/pub/OpenBSD/7.5/ Frankfurt, Germ= any
https://ftp.bytemine.net/pub/OpenBSD/7.5/ Oldenburg, Germ= any
https://ftp.fr.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.5/ Paris, France
https://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/OpenBSD/7.5/ Brisbane, Austr= alia
https://ftp.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.5/ CO, USA
https://ftp5.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.5/ CA, USA
https://mirror.esc7.net/pub/OpenBSD/7.5/ TX, USA
https://openbsd.cs.toronto.edu/pub/OpenBSD/7.5/ Toronto, Canada
https://cloudflare.cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.5/ Global
https://fastly.cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.5/ Global

The release is also available at the master site:

https://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.5/ 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 HTTPS mirror site and go into the directory
pub/OpenBSD/7.5/ which contains these files and directories.
This is a list of what you will see:

ANNOUNCEMENT armv7/ octeon/ root.mail
README hppa/ openbsd-75-base.pub sparc64/
SHA256 i386/ packages/ src.tar.gz
SHA256.sig landisk/ packages-stable/ sys.tar.gz
alpha/ loongson/ ports.tar.gz xenocara.tar.gz
amd64/ luna88k/ powerpc64/
arm64/ macppc/ riscv64/

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* floppy75.img pxeboot*
BOOTX64.EFI* bsd.mp* game75.tgz xbase75.tgz
BUILDINFO bsd.rd* index.txt xfont75.tgz
INSTALL.amd64 cd75.iso install75.img xserv75.tgz
SHA256 cdboot* install75.iso xshare75.tgz
SHA256.sig cdbr* man75.tgz
base75.tgz comp75.tgz miniroot75.img

If you are new to OpenBSD, fetch _at least_ the file INSTALL.amd64
and install75.iso. The install75.iso file (roughly 684MB 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 install75.img 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 7.5 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.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
- 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/7.5/ directory:

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

The README (https://ftp.OpenBSD.org/pub/OpenBSD/7.5/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.
