Slightly reorganize some sections of Installation section and do some wordsmithing. 3. Update distribution layout to reflect RELNOTESng and new compat distributions. 4. Update upgrade file list from 4-STABLE. 5. It's been a long time since 2.2.X; get rid of instructions dealing with "new" handling of compatability slices and fix up other references in the text. 6.

Add a proper abstract for this document. 2001-08-27 03:37:56 +00:00			`<!-- $FreeBSD$ -->`
