OpenBSD - How to install sets after installation

In OpenBSD, sets are collections of system files and software packages that are used to install and configure the operating system. If you have installed OpenBSD and need to install additional sets, you can use the syspatch command to install the sets.

To install sets using syspatch, follow these steps:

  1. Download the sets: The first step is to download the sets that you want to install. You can find a list of available sets at https://www.openbsd.org/ftp.html. To download the sets, use the ftp command to connect to an OpenBSD mirror and download the sets that you need:
ftp ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/`uname -r`/`arch -s`/

Replace ftp.openbsd.org with the address of an OpenBSD mirror that is closest to your location, and replace arch -s with the architecture of your system (e.g., i386, amd64, etc.).

  1. Extract the sets: Once the sets are downloaded, extract the sets using the tar command:
tar xvfz sets.tar.gz

This will extract the sets into the current directory.

  1. Install the sets: Once the sets are extracted, you can use the syspatch command to install the sets. To do this, run the following command:
syspatch

This will install the sets and configure the system.

Keep in mind that these are just general steps, and your specific installation process may vary depending on your system's configuration. Consult the OpenBSD documentation for more detailed information.
