3a45e50f39 Bring this section up to reality.
(1) Additional __FreeBSD_version's from <osreldate.h>.  Closes PR
    docs/1438.
Submitted by:	"David E. O'Brien" <obrien@Nuxi.cs.ucdavis.edu>

(2) Make it clear that when submitting a port, the package is not
    necassary.
Suggested by:	joerg

(3) Recommend people to use send-pr to send us notifications of new
    ports and upgrades so that they won't fall between the cracks.
Suggested by:	a lot of people

(4) Add a section about Motif and describe REQUIRES_MOTIF and
    MOTIFLIB.
Prodded by:	chuckr

(5) Revise the licensing problems section and describe the two
    variables RESTRICTED and NO_CDROM.

(6) Fill in the section about upgrading.  In particular, recommend to
    send in diffs of the old and new ports (these are "ports", not the
    original source or anything!), so it's easier to see what has
    changed.

b7903b6ac0 * Move questions re mounting CDROMs together
(suggested by Darryl Okahata).

  (suggested by Francisco Reyes)

* Minor formatting change to fix docs/1378 (could some kind person
  close this for me? Thanks!)

* Removed references to obsolete /usr/share/FAQ/Text directory.

* Added details of UK supplier of FreeBSD CDs.

* Made the consequences of running ``make world'' more explicit.

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 :-)

and many more.
