1 | 5.0 Misc Questions |
| 2 | ------------------ | |

| 4 | 5.0.1: I've heard of something called FreeBSD-current. How do I run it, and | |
| 5 | where can I get more information? | |
| 6 | ||
| 89ed80ea | 7 | Read the file /usr/src/contrib/FAQ/OTHER-FAQS/FreeBSD.current.policy, it |
| e952dd5e GCI |
8 | will tell you all you need to know. |

| 11 | 5.0.2: What is this thing called `sup', and how do I use it? | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | SUP stands for Software Update Protocol, and was developed by CMU for | |
| 14 | keeping their development trees in sync. We use it to keep remote sites | |
| 15 | in sync with our central development sources. | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | To use it, you need to have direct internet connectivity (not just | |
| 18 | mail or news). First, pick up the sup_bin.tgz package from: | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | freebsd.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/packages | |
| 21 | ||
| 89ed80ea | 22 | Second, read the file /usr/src/contrib/FAQ/OTHER-FAQS/FreeBSD.sup.faq. |

| 24 | This file describes how to setup sup on your machine. You may also | |
| e3835431 | 25 | want to look at `/usr/src/contrib/FAQ/OTHER-FAQS/FreeBSD.*.supfile', |
| e952dd5e GCI |
26 | which are a set of supfiles for supping from freefall.cdrom.com |
