OK, let's see if I got this straight..

My supfile looks like this:


current release=doc host=sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu hostbase=/a/anon_ftp base=/ecl/dej/ftp/netbsd prefix=/ecl/dej/ftp/netbsd backup use-rel-suffix
current release=ksrc-common host=sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu hostbase=/a/anon_ftp base=/ecl/dej/ftp/netbsd prefix=/ecl/dej/ftp/netbsd backup use-rel-suffix
current release=ksrc-amiga host=sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu hostbase=/a/anon_ftp base=/ecl/dej/ftp/netbsd prefix=/ecl/dej/ftp/netbsd backup use-rel-suffix





I tried to sup today, and got nothing new (the file dates in my directories
did not change).

I understand that there is a floppy driver, as well as a whole bunch of
code for 64-bit off_t support.

Questions:

1. Is my supfile correct?  I invoke sup with "sup -f supfile".

2. Should there be a floppy driver in what I'm sup'ing?  (Hopefully, the
	latest, if not greatest, sources.)

3. How badly will the 64-bit off_t's break me?  Can I run a 64 bit kernel
	using 32-bit binaries?  Meaning, make damn sure the kernel works before
	upgrading binaries cuz you can't run 64 bit binaries on a 32 bit kernel.
	Is it true that NONE of the X stuff will work on a 64 bit kernel?  What
	else won't work?  If the 32 bit binaries won't work, then how am I
	supposed to upgrade (other than new rootfs with tar/gzip on it).

4. What's the status on non-buggy, VM-efficient 4/16 color X servers for
	ECS?
