Sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu, the machine that is currently
"ftp.netbsd.org" and "sup.netbsd.org," will be migrating
across the country starting on Saturday, June 10, 1995,
and will go off the 'net some time in the late afternoon.

While it's down:
	(1) there will be no NetBSD SUP updates.  (Indeed, the
		host "sup.NetBSD.ORG" will be unavailable.)
	(2) FTP access to the latest sources (as of the time
		of the move) and previous releases, etc., will
		still be available from "ftp.NetBSD.ORG."
		(A complete mirror site agreed to take lamp's
		place while lamp is being moved).
	(3) The NetBSD bug database will be unavailable.

Since the NetBSD mailing lists and WWW server are handled by other
machines, they shouldn't be affected by the move.

Hopefully SUP services and the bug database will be back on-line
by 6/15, but it might take a few days longer.

FTP and SUP mirrors should probably stop mirroring ftp.netbsd.org
and sup.netbsd.org no later than Saturday morning.  I'll post an
announcement when the SUP and FTP situation is back to normal.
Mail for sun-lamp will be queued while it is down.
