o Minor grammar nits
    o Suggest Partition Magic to users; IMO, this is probably the most
      useful utility for those who use multiple OSs.
    o Sysinstall is now much more user-friendly wrt to ppp installation
      & setup
    o Sysinstall will setup anonymous FTP for you if you ask it to
    o IDE CDROM Device name change: wcd -> acd
    o Add some more information about downloading the distribution from
      ftp.FreeBSD.org
    o The IP address for ftp.FreeBSD.org was incorrect; fix it
    o Windows File Manager -> Windows Explorer (since there are probably
      3 people left in the world that still use Win16)
    o Note that IDE drivers are ad* in 4.0 and later
    o Installation types: Novice -> Standard
