33626d7564 - Add ARM as a platform under development. 
- Bump copyright year.

b6926c7122 Remove references to the now-deleted installation notes and add a 
pointer to the installation chapter of the Handbook (it might be a
good idea to sprinkle a few more through this article).

De-emphasize the floppy disk part of installation media; it's
generally believed that most users install from CDROM or DVD
nowadays.

Use &arch.* entities where appropriate.

Bump copyright date while here.

be746f1805 Add a new entity for the previous stable release. For the most part, 
the release notes compare 5.0-CURRENT to 4.0-RELEASE, but in at least
one place it is beneficial to mention the last stable release of
FreeBSD (4.5-RELEASE).

f6b1b0cc33 If NO_LANGCODE_IN_DESTDIR is defined, don't put the language code in 
DESTDIR.  This avoids redundant information in the path when DOCDIR
points to some directory that already implies (or specifies) a certain
language.  This is the case with the web site, where the release notes
are already installed under a language-specific directory.  This
behavior is not being made mandatory because it might still be useful
to install all the translations in one directory, such as during
testing, or in a hypothetical release notes archive.  Furthermore, it
is not being made the default because that breaks consistency with
stuff under doc/.

d97e531329 Reorganization of FreeBSD README document. This change adds no new 
content or whitespace changes; it just moves sections around for
better organization; the content of this file used to be fairly
fragmented because it originally was derived from parts of several other
documents.

The first half of "About FreeBSD" has been pulled into the Introduction
section.  The remainder of "About FreeBSD" plus the "Release Documentation"
section now make up a new <sect1></sect1> level section entitled
"Further Reading".

1d0372b2af Collapse the seven *.sgml files containing the content of the README 
document into article.sgml.  Move the $FreeBSD$ tag from a
comment to a <pubdate></pubdate> entry, but no other content
or whitespace changes.

The two reasons for doing this are to:  1) Get rid of a bunch of
itty-bitty files and 2) help with a reorganization of the README that
will be much simpler if all the content is in a single file.
