First of all, you'll find sample sup files in /usr/share/examples/supfiles/

Here's the one that I use:

current release=allsrc host=ftp.cs.umn.edu hostbase=/ftp/server/log \
base=/usr prefix=/usr backup use-rel-suffix compress delete

current release=doc host=ftp.cs.umn.edu hostbase=/ftp/server/log \

#current release=security host=ftp.cs.umn.edu hostbase=/ftp/server/log \

current release=xsrc host=ftp.cs.umn.edu hostbase=/ftp/server/log \

Just save that on your NetBSD machine (I like to drop mine into
root's home directory as 'supfile').

Then issue the following commands as root on your NetBSD box:

  cd
  sup -vo ./supfile

To get a clean source tree, you might consider removing /usr/src, /usr/xsrc
and /usr/pkgsrc first.


Also, I've commented out the security set in the supfile that I've
given since you appear to be in Korea.  No sense in letting NetBSD
become a test case for ITAR :-(
