Made the laptop mouse section easier to find, added a note on LILO versus

the FreeBSD boot manager. Twiddled spelling/hyphenation a little.

<heading>How about FreeBSD and Linux? How do I boot FreeBSD from LILO?</heading>
<p>
Theoretically you should be able to boot FreeBSD from LILO by
treating it as a DOS-style operating system, but I haven't been
able to get it to work. If you put LILO at the start of your Linux
boot partition instead of in the MBR, you can boot LILO from the
FreeBSD boot manager. This is what I do.
If you're running Windows-95 and Linux this is recommended anyway,
to make it simpler to get Linux booting again if you should need
to reinstall Windows95 (which is a Jealous Operating System, and
will bear no other Operating Systems in the Master Boot Record).
