+
+	SUP is a network based software update tool developed at CMU.  The
+purpose of this document is get the beginner up and running with sup.
+
+	First off you will need to pick up the sup binaries.  The easiest
+way of doing this is to grab the sup.tgz package from:
+
+	ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG:/pub/FreeBSD/packages/sup.tgz
+
+Install the sup package using pkg_add and add the following line to
+your /etc/services file:
+
+        sup                 871/tcp        #sup
+
+SUP gets the information it needs to run from a configuration file 
+called a supfile.  This file tells sup what collections it will be updating
+and/or installing and where they go.  The supfile in this directory will
+sup both the source and ports collection - look for the blank line seperating
+the two collections; if you don't want ports, you can simply delete all the
+ports entries.  If you're inside the United States, you may also uncomment
+the `secure' collection line to grab the DES code.  If you're outside the
+U.S., you should NOT sup this code from FreeBSD.ORG as this will
+violate U.S. export restrictions.  Simply sup everything *but* the secure
+collection and then go look on "braae.ru.ac.za", where it's available for
+anonymous ftp for those outside the U.S.
+
+Any other distributions you do not wish to receive can be commented out
+with a # at the begining of the distribution line.
+
+Once this is setup, you're ready to go.  To start sup type:
+
+	sup supfile
+
+If you wish to see what sup is doing "verbosely", give it the -v option,
+like so:
+
+	sup -v supfile
+
+Thats all there is to it!  Remember that if you're running current,
+which is what you will have if you sup, please join the freebsd-current
+mailing list.  You should also be sure to read:
+
+	ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG:/pub/FreeBSD/FAQ/current-policy.FAQ
+
+For important information on just what we can and cannot do for you as
+a -current user.
