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. - -Gary Clark II / Jordan Hubbard -FreeBSD maintainance persons. - ----- - -Description of FreeBSD SUP distributions: - -base: /usr/src/... misc files at the top of /usr/src -bin: /usr/src/bin system binaries -secure: /usr/src/secure DES Sources.
