df622d54f8 GEOMification of CCD.

a26df538d2 Document a workaround for getting past the groff infinite loop problem 
when your userland is older tahn your kernel and Makefile.inc1 therefore
thinks that you don't need to rebuild groff, when in fact you do.  This
workaround is to set OSRELDATE to 500110 before building, but only if you
have a new enough Makefile.inc1.

I've confirmed this on my laptop, which was suffering from this problem.
Since it only hits power users, we'll naively assume that such users are
smart enough to read UPDATING.

4b065e2ce1 Per previous announcement, remove the old version of the rc system. 
All functionality from the previous system has been preserved, and
users should still customize their system boot with the familiar
methods, rc.conf, rc.conf.local, rc.firewall, sysctl.conf, etc.

Users who have customized versions of scripts that have been removed
should take great care when upgrading, since the compatibility code
that used those old scripts has also been removed.

5c195f592b Note: 5.0 requires more space. If you don't have 30MB free on /, then 
you are going to get hurt badly if you try to do an update from

less space, I think 30MB is a good number.

ea31d04d40 Add entry for newbus. It is rather long, but lots of nits can shoot 
people with this upgrade.  Lemme know what you think, or any
corrections that should be made to it.

Corrected a few typos based on submissions from various people.

Add note that make aout-to-elf is currently broken and what to do to
work around it.  This is implied by make -DWANT_AOUT being broken, but
that isn't obvious to many people.

8172568955 Added a whole lot of information on upgrading with egcs and the common 
problems discussed in -current up through approx april 7th.  Those
more in the know please read these changes and send me corrections.
I've only hit a few of the cases, not all of them, so my reporting is
second hand at best.

Thanks to those people that used HEADS UP in their message.  Large,
rabid mammals to those that wanted to beat the /etc/rc* horse with the
phrase "heads up" in the subject line.

9857e58226 Convert to HTML. Verified to work on Netscape 4.5 and Netscape 
3.something.  We were getting a lot of URL links in this file and it
seemed like a good idea to convert this file to html so people can
follow them easily.

This does not use the doc tools to generate.  I'm doing it all by hand
at the moment.

Update /etc/rc* if you are going to run a system with aout
libraries, otherwise ldconfig won't know what to do and all dynamic

355edc3e75 On Dec 24 the wcd driver was removed. The new driver is acd. Make a 
note of this in the updating file.  Put it under the 19981224 date
rather than today's date, since that was when the change was.

voxware or pcvt as they have been restored to the kernel.
