perchance to dream...

02c22434a5 s/man page/manual page/, to make the default announcement

de29595584 Replace the full path to sysinstall with a standard manual page
reference.  The sysinstall binary is now in root's standard PATH,
so there's no need for explicit pathing, and there's some value
in a manual page reference.

940f9e5ea4 Add reference to hier(7). This gets motd just over 25 lines. I'm
don't like it, but I think this can greatly ease the learning curve
of Linux-immigrants.

55ec112da0 Make default /etc/motd (which I will include in the installation) a little
more helpful and explanatory to new users.  Experienced users always blow
away their default motd's on the first day anyway. :-)
