From de35dbcd652e42850ce153065f9f1519e086e0cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chris Costello Date: Wed, 6 Jun 2001 16:50:22 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Clean up some of the questions in the FAQ. Namely: o Convert statements ("I'd like to become a Web mirror") into questions ("How do I become a Web mirror?"). o Properly mark up errors with instead of . And a minor nit: o Refer to the X window system as the X window system (instead of "the X window"). Reviewed by: nik, dd, Arnaud S.
