68c828a063 Update to list more changes in 3.0. Also point people at the donor's
gallery rather than including an out-of-date list.

d7021de248 Mention the removal of UPAGES, the return-to-userspace fork(), and the fast
complete implementation of vfork().

1057ab2ee4 Mention new features:
. if_media support (obtained from Jason Thorpe's NetBSD implementation),
. multi-session ISO-9660 support

Move aic6[26]30 and floppy tapes out into an ``unmaintained'' subsection,
so people don't expect the same quality of support for them as for other
drivers.

Our ATAPI CD-ROM driver should no longer be considered ALPHA quality
now, i think.

8cd1da54dd Remove the text that says that freebsd-bugs can't be subscribed
to by anyone.

While I was at it, I changed all of the mailing list addresses to be
consistent with how they are referenced in the handbook.  E.g
freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.ORG instead of bugs@FreeBSD.ORG.

Closes PR# 2791

28e9fe52bf Add the ex(4) driver to hardware.hlp.
Wipe out most of the obsoleted (2.2-related) changelist from the
relnotes, and add those stuff that came to mind being really new
in 3.0.

Folks, if you add some major feature in -current, please consider
recording it here.  Our users love to know what they're getting by
reading it in a single file.  In particular, the Lite2 mergers might
consider adding information here.

76d01c999a This is a patch that makes some of the "partitions" --> "slice" to be
more consistant in our use of the terms for differentiation between PC
partitions and traditional BSD partitions.

1130b656e5 Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.

Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore.  This update would have been
insane otherwise.

18e5f50832 Documentation update.
Remove a duplicate entry for ahc0 in hardware.hlp (closes PR #
docs/2282), a few additions all over the place while i was at it.

Tried to add as much of the important highlights for the new features
in 2.2 into the release notes.  I still think that many things are
missing here, so folks, if you imported something great that's in 2.2
but not in 2.1.X, please review this section and send us your
additions!

c352737c78 To use the dosio library fully, I also (duh!) have to retain full
use of stdio, I can't just go handing fileno(fp) around and expect
that to work.  Since this means I need to have sysinstall play pipeline
on single file distributions now, that means I can also finally add a
progress indicator for them.

Change installation instructions to note that there's no dists directory
anymore on CDROMs.

d17f0c47d4 Fix some very minor cosmetic cruft I couldn't help tweaking when
I went over the code.

Add shortcuts for addUser and addGroup, documenting same.

Add a password field for adduser and use no-echo string field for it.
This requires my latest libdialog changes (in RELENG_2_2 or -current) to work.

c381383f32 Update to benefit from David's recent changes to pw(8). The most
obvious effects are that most of the automagically chosen defaults
will now be displayed while going through the menu, and an improved
error handling thanks to the more detailed error status reporting.

2.2 fodder, but i'll leave it to Jordan's review.

325403f959 Add Joerg's user management screen for David Nugent's pw(8) program, something
which will also need to be brought in before this screen will work.

Add some commentary about how the slip startup code is bogus.

Steal Joerg's loop for more properly closing all files and graft it into
the EHS startup.  My loop was functional but more bogus.
