2aa7428929 Use lower case indexterms, and correct an egregious entry : 
-    <indexterm><primary>Configuring the <command>cron</command> utility</primary></indexterm>
+    <indexterm><primary>cron</primary>
+      <secondary>configuration</secondary></indexterm>

This is wrong for many many reasons :

* The indexterm is way too long and is a direct copy of the title
  of the section it resides in.  The index is not a table of contents.
* Two columns of index terms should fit at the back of the printed
  book, so four words is almos always out of the question.
* indexterms relating to cron should appear near (as a subterm of) the
  'cron' entry, not as a new 'Configuration blah' entry.

863bddb4b9 A few corrections to the recently added troubleshooting section: 
* Use lower-case indexterm
* Not all references to 'PPP' are commands, not all references to 'kernel'
  are filenames.  Correct tags accordingly.
* Simplify a sentence.

979c7c339a Corrections to recently re-added PPP device nodes section: 
* Don't capitalize index terms.
* Use <replaceable> rather than <literal> for replaceable 'N'.  This
  renders replaceable text in an oblique rather than monospace font,
  as is customary.

2393be4b68 After years of service we've finally had to put cvsup3.uk.freebsd.org 
(bluecat.pavilion.net) to rest.  Bluecat was, I believe, the third
cvsup server in the world, and the first outside of the US.  It was
of course cvsup.uk.freebsd.org in those days.  Thankyou Easynet for
the continued support of this machine over the years.

Cvsup4 is now cvsup3, and cvsup5 is now cvsup4.

6fa84d219b Add "Binary Formats" section to Unix Basics chapter. 
I don't like this here, but it sucks less than having it in any other
sections.

This text bears a *very* suspicious similarity to the binary format
questions in the FAQ.

1afa61544b Whitespace only change, translators please ignore. 
The FAQ was full of lines longer than 80 characters, lines broken into
two chunks of 45 characters, irregularly wrapped, sections mis-spaced,
and so on.

These are all fixed.

I avoided all the code listings of course, so as to not screw up
formatting.

Tested by: make, re-reading the whole FAQ

This piece of boring grunt work brought to you by: "I went to bed
early so I can catch up on sleep and really enjoy the rest of USENIX.
What do you mean, I have insomnia?"
