This supfile will only update the source tree.  No docs or ports.  You will 
need to su to root or otherwise have write privileges to /usr/src when you 
cvsup the source tree.   On my system, the tree takes up about 340000 blocks. 
You can save a small amount of space by not downloading crypt, etc.  Your 
mileage may vary.

----- Begin cvsup -------
# Defaults that apply to all the collections

*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
src-all
# ports-all tag=.
# doc-all tag=.
----- End cvsup ---------
