for the moment it'll have to probably be an archive of the list... cause,
now that you ask... I just acn't think of any..

agree, cvsup is the go... 

Suggestion for files:

README.cvsup <-- with details how to use cvsup to maintain a copy of
current source.....
README.TODO  <-- {echo "15 Dec, 1997 - Build a Kernel" >> README.TODO;}
./kernel/freebsd.GENERIC <-- Dir with kernels for netboot of sun sparc
./tools/boot.sun4c   <-- generic sun boot loader (available from a number
                                         of sources)

Do we have a site for it??? Offer stands for space if someone will just
let me know what is required (ie. dir structure, etc)
