Hi
With the recent sup problems I haven't been able to do a successful
sup in more than a month. It always gets quite far but then it
stops. With a 9600baud connection it is quite annoying to see 
it stop after being half way through (That's about 2 hours).
Couldn't the src distribution be broken up into something like:

lib
libexec
sys
share
gnu
bin
sbin
usr.bin
usr.sbin

(did I forget anything)

The src distribution as it currently stands is far too big for that
sup is so unstable.

Thanks.
