binaries for the fixit floppy bin/ed/main.c causes a gcc warning
message about argc possibly being clobbered by longjmp or vfork.
We have threatened to ditch floppies for 8.0 but I don't want to
do quite that much rototilling yet so for now turn off -Werror while
building ed (and everything else) for the fixit floppy.
Thanks to jb for pointing out NO_WERROR.
is enabled). This saves around 80MB (for i386) on the ISO images.
Note that this is only from the install media, not the installed
system where the symbols are still installed, if part of the release.
Should anybody want the symbols which match disc1/livecd, they can
just be extracted from the kernel distribution files.

floppy types (in fact, we have only one left!)
Also cleanup some code, using || and && in some places, and
using "export VAR=value" instead of two separate lines.
- use proper make configuration for the build, using
${BINMAKE} as evaluated by ${VERSION}/src/Makefile
- remove -lmytinfo from crunch.conf
- remove support for login_access in tinyware/login
- remove "machine i386" from the kernel config file
It might actually be interesting to extend the script to do
a cross build for !i386 ...
MFC after: 3 days
- Mention tzdata2007h update. An in advance &merged; is
added so that we don't have to change this again when
it is actually MFC'ed.

a one-week MFC-after so I figure I can leave it this way for now.

pointer to the installation chapter of the Handbook (it might be a
good idea to sprinkle a few more through this article).
De-emphasize the floppy disk part of installation media; it's
generally believed that most users install from CDROM or DVD
nowadays.
Use &arch.* entities where appropriate.
Bump copyright date while here.

top-level release/doc directory. We were building in share/sgml first,
which caused us to autogenerate hardware notes entities in the wrong
format (we want to build these via ${RELNOTES_LANG}/hardware/Makefile,
in order to get the HWNOTES_MI variable).

for quite some time. All relevant content has been moved to the
installation chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook, which will be the
single source of FreeBSD installation instructions.
In addition to removing redundancy, this change also removes the last
of the machine-dependent documents in the release documentation
set (the release notes and hardware notes were unified to produce
machine-independent documents).
Approved by: re (blanket for installation notes removal)
