works on sparc64, this document can now use (almost) the same
procedures as i386, et al. CDROM booting instructions are cut-and-pasted
from the older sparc64/install.sgml file, which is now unlinked from
the document build.
This document is a long ways from perfect, but it's better than shipping
instructions for an installation procedure that doesn't apply anymore.
While here, add some SGML comments to help others navigate the sources.
build.
This will give ia64 folks the chance to help flesh these out, and
also ensure that (when the time comes) ia64 releases with documentation
won't fall over due to missing RELNOTESng files.
o All of the Q&A entries in this section were i386-specific, so make
these conditional on building for that platform. If
non-i386-platforms need similar Q&A lists, they can add their own to
this file.
o Coalesce the two Q&A sections into one.
o Correct some device names (wd(4) devices have not existed for quite
some time).
o Get rid of a number of obsolete entries (suggested by jhb).
- get rid of the 4th level headings
- seperate the actions required to prepare the installation (getting
the CD, settings up the various daemons, ...) from the actual
installation
Translation teams: This patch moves some paragraphs around and changes
a lot of <sectX> headers, but does not contain any content changes in
the strict sense of the word (i.e. I did not rewrite paragraphs yet).
There were no changes to the indentation, either.

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/.

1. Bring floppies.sgml section in-line into install.sgml, where it
makes more sense.
2. 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. Hunt down and kill emoticons with extreme prejudice. Try to
tone down the use of exclamation points.
7. Cross-reference new and improved Installation chapter in
Handbook.
8. Add a proper abstract for this document.
notes build. Instead of having doc.relnotes.mk make a guess, hardcode
quite a bit (but as little as possible) in Makefile.inc's sprinkled
strategicly throughout the tree. This has the advantage of actually
working properly (which is a Good Thing(tm)), and the disadvantages of
more files in the repository and more hardcoded paths (which are both
Bad Things(tm)).
