port documentation (which can be things like postscript manuals
describing every single of the 65,536 options) from being installed

(Sorry Jordan, but your other idea (${CATEGORIES}) was a major hit.)
Also remove the keyword field in the INDEX line and replace it with
two columns: build-time dependencies and run-time dependencies. They
are both list of package names (minus the ".tgz").
(1) people can have weird paths and it will still work, and
(2) if you really need to use /usr/local/bin/cp instead of /bin/cp,
you can do that by changing only one line.

were paged in under low swap space conditions to both loose their
backing store and their dirty bits. This would cause pages to
be demand zeroed under certain conditions in low VM space conditions
and consequential sig-11's or sig-10's. This situation was made
worse lately when the level for swap space reclaim threshold was
increased.
Ideally, this should go into the ``mail'' section of the handbook, but
i don't have the time to write all of this right now, so i've put it
into the FAQ.
problems with tip. There are some hardwired timeouts that ignores the
delay that you can set in the modem configuration file. The hard-wire
delay is to short if the modem has to switch major modes and reset
(ie going from fax to data mode with a reset).
Now my modem transistions from HylaFax control to tip control and ppp mode
without any problems.

matter much on some systems, but on ftp servers (like wcarchive) where
you run with special stripped group and pwd.db files in the anonymous
ftp /etc, this can be a major speedup for ls(1).
so that the developer section isn't garbaged up.
Suggestion: anytime you mess with the handbook, build it
and actually look at the result with your favorite browser, since
a one character typo can mess up the whole thing.
a master server and initialize the suser_override flag, but in a non-NIS
environment is should be smart enough to just leave the flag cleared
and return (unless forced with a command-line argument like -y).
Otherwise, it will return an NIS-related error even if NIS isn't
turned on.

so it looks just a little more professional (and helps me figure out
when/if someone's already been added!).
Add Wolfram Schneider to list of developers.

on in the FreeBSD development, I had made a global lock around the
rlist code. This was bogus, and now the lock is maintained on a
per resource list basis. This now allows the rlist code to be used for
almost any non-interrupt level application.
linux binaries from the *BSD a.out loader. This is a hack, but lets me run
static NetBSD binaries. Dynamic binaries are a much bigger problem because
the shared libraries would conflict with our native libraries, so a
/compat/netbsd alternate namespace and translation would be needed.
Also, LINUX_POSIX_VDISABLE is \0, FreeBSD's is 0xff. Convert between them.
This enables some more programs to run, including the Livingston Portmaster
utilities (PMtools).

IP and IPX packets over a PPP link. I added the hack to print the
PPP protocol type for other (eg: LCP, CCP, etc) packets.

spit out two error lines for a bogus filesystem type, e.g:
root@time-> mount -t foo /dev/sd0a /mnt
mount: exec /sbin/mount_foo for /mnt: No such file or directory
mount: exec /usr/sbin/mount_foo for /mnt: No such file or directory
But I would submit that if you're even going to scan multiple directories
for a mount_foo (which I actually think is somewhat bogus - if it's not
in /sbin, you're probably in big trouble anyway), you should emit an error
for each one. I got multiple complaints (in addition to the PR) that the
existing behavior was very confusing.
since that's the only other USER_LDT using code that I know of.
