There are some instructions in the handbook. I installed 2.1R by FTP and got the sup package as well as others and got it all installed and running. There's a sample sup file for STABLE, which seems suited to what I want to do. However the sample sup file for ports looks as if it gets sources for all ports. I am wondering whether I need to get the sources for the ports/packages that I have installed and get these rebuilt as well as everything else in the "make world" process, in order for them to run?
