68b9d2851a This is Matt Dillon's VM Design article from DaemonNews. It's here
a) Because it's a cool piece of documentation

  b) It's a real world example of using images in the documentation.

It's not turned on in the upper level Makefile yet, as I expect the
specifics of the toolchain to change over the next week or so as people
play around with this, and I don't want to the doc build mirrors to have
to suddenly update the ports they have installed.  Once this has stabilised
it can be turned on.

ff5aaba5d8 Fix some stupid mistakes I made when adding des' CVS primer:
* $FreeBSD$ shouldn't be expanded when used in the explanation of
   conflicts.
 * Add some markup bits I missed, fix typoes, fix broken hyphenation
   caused by joining lines together which had hyphenated words split over
   them.

d3d532c64f * RCS Date string in <date>
* Add year to <copyright>

 * Explain how you can use CVSup to download the PR database, and then
   teach a local copy of GNATS about the files you've installed, to make
   it easier to query them without being online all the time.

   Prompted by Warner's query on -committers last month.  Doing this is
   actually fairly trivial, but I figure a lot of you'll benefit from it.

 * Change some &prompt.user; to &prompt.root; (as far as I can see, you
   need to run the commands as root).

 * Update a link to point to the Porter's Handbook.
