I believe that much of that info is in the handbook. Take a look at sup.sgml (or the equivalent handbook page) for info. We are in the midst of a transition from sup to cvsup (much more efficient, and the use of sup is now greatly discouraged.) If you use cvsup, you'll never want to use sup again. With every distribution of FreeBSD, comes the sources, I just pointed you to some of the unpacked sources. (Did not know how much detail that you wanted.) John
