d3cf2d5d31 It's not too good idea to define nonexistent category in the sample Makefile. 
(There used to be ``CATEGORIES+=printing''.)

54223c4d83 Suggest using `dd' to create the swapfile for diskless operation, with

When I booted my system without the above option, the CDROM could not

more aggressively than it has been, and since that's clearly never going to

7047f3161a removed older copy of duplicated paragraph. 
negated the descriptive sense of "frag" and "-N", which were clearly wrong.
changed instructions (which were bogus in the extreme) for allowing/preventing
    outgoing rsh/rlogin, rewording the paragraph so it applies to incoming
    connections so it actually both makes sense and tells the truth. It can
    be deleted instead if not relevant.

did not change the paragraph about loading multiple rules in one command,
    although this operation is now partially supported by loading from a
    command file.

feef9138fd (1) Clarify the use of ${MOTIFLIB} by giving examples on what to

(2) Bring the *_DEPENDS section up to the current state.  Explain that
    the pathname in the "path:dir" pair can be a full pathname if you
    want a port to depend on something that isn't executable or an
    executable that's not expected to be in the user's search path
    (like /usr/local/libexec).  Also, change the LIB_DEPENDS example

1afbbc7c59 Remove the quotes from some of the kernel options that dont need it. 
eg:  options "SCSI_DELAY=15" should be options SCSI_DELAY=15, as config
knows about the "=" and splits it correctly into key=value for the #defines.
The only options that need quotes are those that have numbers as part of
the actual name, eg: "TUNE_1542" and "COMPAT_IBCS2".

5dde6aa3d3 * Added lots more introductory material. 
* Removed material that was duplicated in the installation instructions.

* Updated the address for an Australian supplier of CDROMs (supplied by
  David Henshaw via Martin Butkus).

* Give more info about how to get started with the installation.

* Update references to 2.1.0 as "the latest release".

* Added pointer to a Web page explaining how to have multiple operating
  systems on the same machine.

* Moved question about running DOS binaries out of the installation section.

* Added question re boot floppy not loading properly.

* Added explanation of disk geometry, moved things around so that "please
  refer to the previous question" no longer sends the reader with a
  non-booting system to a PLIP cable wiring diagram!

* Mention the time/space requirements for making a custom install floppy.

* Acknowledge a couple of people whose answers I've adapted in various
  places (and who deserve credit anyway for answering so many questions!)

1f47599122 Make temporary changes to the FAQ in time for 2.1.5, pending a more 
comprehensive re-write later.

* Ruthlessly condense questions so they fit on a single line (the
  TOC is now actually readable in lynx!). In one or two cases, this
  has meant splitting up questions or incorporating part of the old
  question into the answer.

* Make it clear that the question about disklabel'ing is actually
  about adding a second hard disk, provide a _much_ simpler answer and
  move it out of the installation section.

* Don't imply that the AHA2920 is supported (I suspect we will get a
  lot of queries about this)

* Reword the non-serious questions to hint that the answer may not be
  particularly informative...

* Correct typos and grammar, remove US-centric colloquialisms :-)

"It would be good to point out that a machine that only has SCSI devices
may also generate this message if an IDE CD-ROM is not configured as
the Master device. Words like these might work ..."

        This generally means that there is no CDROM in the CDROM drive,
        or the drive is not visible on the bus. Feed the drive
        something, and/or check it's master/slave status.
