I got source from ftp.netbsd.org. I used to periodically pull down the source
code in tarballs, which took forever (I have a 14.4k PPP connection at home).
Since then, however, I have figured out how to get "sup" to work, which
compares your local file dates to the server file dates and pulls down
the new files. Now it takes 1-2 minutes per day to keep -current!
