+
+Last updated: $Date: 1994/05/11 22:40:48 $
+
+	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_bin.tgz package from:
+
+	freebsd.cdrom.com:~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/packages
+		(FreeBSD 1.1 or later)
+	freebsd.cdrom.com:~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/packages-1.0
+		(FreeBSD 1.0.2 or earlier)
+
+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.  There are already two files that
+have been created for supping FreeBSD, both of which may be gotten from: 
+
+	freebsd.cdrom.com:~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/FAQ/OTHER-FAQS 
+
+The file `FreeBSD.standard.supfile' is used for supping from the
+/usr/src tree, the file `FreeBSD.ports.supfile' for the /usr/ports tree.
+These two files can be installed whereever it is convient to do so.
+
+	Next you will have to comment out whichever distributions you do
+not wish to receive with a # at the begining of the distribution line.
+You will find a list of distributions and a description for each at the
+end of this file.
+
+	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.  For more information on current please see the file:

+freefall.cdrom.com:~ftp/pub/FreeBSD/FAQ/OTHER-FAQS/FreeBSD.current.policy
