(suggested by Darryl Okahata).
* Add explanation of what virtual consoles are
(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.
* More cleaning and tidying up.
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.
"It would be good to point out that a machine that only has SCSI devices
may also generate this message if an IDE CD-ROM is not configured as
the Master device. Words like these might work ..."
This generally means that there is no CDROM in the CDROM drive,
or the drive is not visible on the bus. Feed the drive
something, and/or check it's master/slave status.

Ideally, this should go into the ``mail'' section of the handbook, but
i don't have the time to write all of this right now, so i've put it
into the FAQ.
Cruft removed (small amounts)
Added entry about IJPPP pred1 and some sites.
Changed entry on commiters to read "All CVS commits" instead of current commits
Is there anyone who could give me an account on a faster-than-20-bytes-per
second line to the US (not EBONE) ? I'm having too many problems connecting
to freefall to do commits... It would be better if it could be a ssh-protected
account, that would give a strong authentication.
The RENATER line (and thus EBONE) is almost dead for remote login after
10AM european time... :-(
Thanks in advance.
Added entry on NFS mounting SunOS drives (Just like the Linux entry above it)
Added entry on use of cu to do AT commands
Still to be added: KTRACE entry
Add a section on /etc/sysconfig and the new configuration scheme
Corrections from Brad Midgley and David O'Brien (from the lists).
Formatting changes for the ASCII version.
Change about Motif from SWiM to Lasermoon.
The FreeBSD goal section needs more meat, Jordan :-)
specially from Darryl Okahata. I've rewritten several URL to the proper
<url url="" name=""> tag. There is still room for improvement but it
should be closer to 2.0.5R now. I'll try to be faster for future updates...
Obtained from: Mail messages from the lists.
The site in Island has only the 1.1-RELEASE dist.
The previous South Africa sites are dead and the brasilian one
is very hard to get into and painfully slow.
The two South Africa sites come from MIRROR.SITES.
