Incorporate new development section, since Satoshi seems to have wandered
off for a bit and I have too much stuff stacking up in my handbook directory.

negated the descriptive sense of "frag" and "-N", which were clearly wrong.
changed instructions (which were bogus in the extreme) for allowing/preventing
outgoing rsh/rlogin, rewording the paragraph so it applies to incoming
connections so it actually both makes sense and tells the truth. It can
be deleted instead if not relevant.
did not change the paragraph about loading multiple rules in one command,
although this operation is now partially supported by loading from a
command file.
I hope I'm not treading on anyone's toes here.
"4.4BSD-Lite" (not "4.4 BSD Lite", "BSD 4.4-lite" or some such), this
is what the CSRG people call their release in the red daemon book (and
most of the handbook had it that way).
substitute.
(2) Bring the *_DEPENDS section up to the current state. Explain that
the pathname in the "path:dir" pair can be a full pathname if you
want a port to depend on something that isn't executable or an
executable that's not expected to be in the user's search path
(like /usr/local/libexec). Also, change the LIB_DEPENDS example
to use jpeg, tcl-7.3's appropriateness as an example is quite
outdated at this point. ;)
the devices I once owned or contemplated purchasing .. )
(1) The ncr controller supports 53C810/815/825/860/875.
(2) Descrpitions of fxp0 and vx0 were missing.
(3) The ed driver supports SMC 8216 (`Elite Ultra') too.
(4) Add pseudo-device ccd.
eg: options "SCSI_DELAY=15" should be options SCSI_DELAY=15, as config
knows about the "=" and splits it correctly into key=value for the #defines.
The only options that need quotes are those that have numbers as part of
the actual name, eg: "TUNE_1542" and "COMPAT_IBCS2".
address - Melbourne is a city in the state of Victoria, not vice versa! :-)
Also add reference to Greg Lehey's books in the appropriate section,
replace some redundant questions by pointers to the Handbook, replace
"look at this bit of the Handbook" pointers by URLs, clean up
inconsistent use of "one" and "you" and fix a couple of typos
introduced by my previous changes...
* Removed material that was duplicated in the installation instructions.
* Updated the address for an Australian supplier of CDROMs (supplied by
David Henshaw via Martin Butkus).
* Give more info about how to get started with the installation.
* Update references to 2.1.0 as "the latest release".
* Added pointer to a Web page explaining how to have multiple operating
systems on the same machine.
* Moved question about running DOS binaries out of the installation section.
* Added question re boot floppy not loading properly.
* Added explanation of disk geometry, moved things around so that "please
refer to the previous question" no longer sends the reader with a
non-booting system to a PLIP cable wiring diagram!
* Mention the time/space requirements for making a custom install floppy.
* Acknowledge a couple of people whose answers I've adapted in various
places (and who deserve credit anyway for answering so many questions!)
I forgot his name whilst typing in the commit message on the
port, and he wasn't in the handbook (I guessed wrong, using Marc
Van Kempen, sorry to both). Now, his name is in here and I
won't get mixed up again!

(1) Additional __FreeBSD_version's from <osreldate.h>. Closes PR

(2) Make it clear that when submitting a port, the package is not
necassary.
Suggested by: joerg
(3) Recommend people to use send-pr to send us notifications of new
ports and upgrades so that they won't fall between the cracks.
Suggested by: a lot of people
(4) Add a section about Motif and describe REQUIRES_MOTIF and
MOTIFLIB.
Prodded by: chuckr
(5) Revise the licensing problems section and describe the two
variables RESTRICTED and NO_CDROM.
(6) Fill in the section about upgrading. In particular, recommend to
send in diffs of the old and new ports (these are "ports", not the
original source or anything!), so it's easier to see what has
changed.
Discourage the use of the EXB-2501 by now, and slightly improve the
formatting for this entry.
Correct some minor oddities for the Tandberg entries based on my input
data.
Minor addition to the <!-- tech> section for QIC.
(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.
Submitted by: Neil Smith <ngs@sesame.hensa.ac.uk> with a small addition
Expand definition of 'established' and 'icmptypes.' Correct examples
which still used the old syntax. Add a pointer to the CERT packet
filtering checklist.
Indicate that gateway in /etc/sysconfig is *really* the correct way
if you have an /etc/sysconfig file. Other small tweaks.
