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.

9ba54ae095 More Elven advice:
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
aout binaries will fail.

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.

Also added note about floppy tape driver.  Didn't add note about
voxware or pcvt as they have been restored to the kernel.

2c558794ca Add a poitner to Peter's page on the ELF migration day. This is the
day when the elves sail accross the sea to a new home, which happens
to be in your computer.  They will sing glorious songs for the Eldar
days.  You machine will shun the darkness that is upon the world.

Errrm, well actually you won't even notice...

d5513f530b Add impending flag day for ELF. Make notes about elf userland and elf
kernel forced migration happening soon.

While still incomplete, and there may be showstoppers along the way,
the advise given here is not incorrect.

ab308df62c Added new users/group that Matt Dillan added. While not strictly
necessary due to later changes to the tree, they may someday be
required.

53dfde793f This file contains minimal instructions for the moderately clueful to
update their systems from prior versions of FreeBSD.  It is only for
November 18, 1998 and newer systems.  If you have an older system, you
are on your own.

I'll update this from time to time, and if it shows signs of bitrot
I'll kill it.
