If you pull these down with sup there is supposed to be a way to 
configure your end so that certain files and/or directories are excluded. 
 I haven't done that but I'm thinking about doing it for the split 
directories.

They're not "official", but I'm still doing this as noted on the NetBSD 
Web Page.  I should have the 1.4.1 CDs put together this weekend, 
assuming there aren't any other additions or changes as there were after 
1.4 was opened for public access.  I'm assuming things like the next68k 
port have either been dropped or will be available shortly though.
