f54a3542ef alex@big.endian.de (Alexander Langer) noticed that I point at LINT,
which no longer exists.  Updating the entry accordingly.

409e887c85 Take jdp's excellent message to -current about the internat crypto
files and put it in my freebsd web area.  Rewrite the entry in
UPDATING to point to it the message and hopefully not confuse people
like the old one did.

2f961bc842 Add warning about needing to set SYSDIR to build new kernels after
July 4th due to the new sys/modules/sound/drivers/* being added to the
tree.  You will need to do this until you do a make installworld with
my bsd.kmod.mk change.

c373950eff o rc.d now use start/stop, and some scripts may produce warnings.
o NOTES replaces LINT.  Make a note of it in an older entry.

b8c215accd Added a dire sounding note about how crypto is required to build the
system.  Well, not really required if you know what you are doing, but
there's enough people that don't fit into this class that are getting
burned now that we need to say it is required.  The actual message
says that one should treat it as if it was required to try to be
weasilly for the nitpickers amoung us :-)Killed by signal 2.

d4c3159a33 Missed one:
Per grog's suggestion, mention bde's symbol change to the kernel.  It
likely isn't a big deal, but should be noted in passing.

290f9ad8cf I felt guilty:
o add note about binutils 2.10 fixing the problems noted on 20000522.
	o Add some very brief text to the '612 entry on the config changes.
	  A better howto would be warmly added to the file.

2b8dd5f402 o Make note of brandelf change (obrien)
o Make the ata warning less dire based on more experience.  It seems that marginal
  disks cause more problems than that chipset singled out. (sos)

8d9f1945b9 Add information about the dangarous apollo MPV3 chipset. Several
people have suggested the workaround to me (use only PIO mode) and
I've not seend a message saying ths was fixed.  I'll removed the bold
warning stars after the issue is corrected.

6d23c3828e Normally I don't put entries that should have been made months ago
into UPDATING.  However, in this case I'm making an exception.  I'm
adding a recommendation that people update their boot blocks.  Old
boot blocks will cause a system to become unbootable if you have
removed /dev/{,r}wd*.

19cada7779 Massive gut. We're not into 5.0 so remove all 4.x entries from this
file and start over.

Also note that we're in the traditional whack-a-ball kernel model/api
reorg for 5.0 and that one needs to be extra careful about making sure
models and kernels are in sync.

dc0dbf5c9e Add a section at the end called COMMON ITEMS. This is where we'll put
those questions that come up all the time (eg, how do I build a
kernel).  This is intended to be a very brief reminder for people that
are basically clueful what the steps are to do these common things.
What it lacks in verbosity it makes up in terseness.
