Specifically it would be the supfile stuff, everything I've been reading
says "if you put in the wrong thing here, you can screw the whole system
up", and there aren't a lot of concrete examples, just stuff you can add
to it. So I guess what I need is a supfile example of everything I need
to upadate my kernel and library sources and what not, then I can do a
make world on it later.
