fbaf9e392a * Added lots more introductory material. 
* Removed material that was duplicated in the installation instructions.

* Updated the address for an Australian supplier of CDROMs (supplied by
  David Henshaw via Martin Butkus).

* Give more info about how to get started with the installation.

* Update references to 2.1.0 as "the latest release".

* Added pointer to a Web page explaining how to have multiple operating
  systems on the same machine.

* Moved question about running DOS binaries out of the installation section.

* Added question re boot floppy not loading properly.

* Added explanation of disk geometry, moved things around so that "please
  refer to the previous question" no longer sends the reader with a
  non-booting system to a PLIP cable wiring diagram!

* Mention the time/space requirements for making a custom install floppy.

* Acknowledge a couple of people whose answers I've adapted in various
  places (and who deserve credit anyway for answering so many questions!)

  close this for me? Thanks!)

* Removed references to obsolete /usr/share/FAQ/Text directory.

* Added details of UK supplier of FreeBSD CDs.

* Made the consequences of running ``make world'' more explicit.

* More cleaning and tidying up.

6116117527 Make temporary changes to the FAQ in time for 2.1.5, pending a more 
comprehensive re-write later.

* Ruthlessly condense questions so they fit on a single line (the
  TOC is now actually readable in lynx!). In one or two cases, this
  has meant splitting up questions or incorporating part of the old
  question into the answer.

* Make it clear that the question about disklabel'ing is actually
  about adding a second hard disk, provide a _much_ simpler answer and
  move it out of the installation section.

* Don't imply that the AHA2920 is supported (I suspect we will get a
  lot of queries about this)

* Reword the non-serious questions to hint that the answer may not be
  particularly informative...

* Correct typos and grammar, remove US-centric colloquialisms :-)

and many more.

03f70284a6 Update the "CD-ROM not configured" question. 
"It would be good to point out that a machine that only has SCSI devices
may also generate this message if an IDE CD-ROM is not configured as
the Master device. Words like these might work ..."

        This generally means that there is no CDROM in the CDROM drive,
        or the drive is not visible on the bus. Feed the drive
        something, and/or check it's master/slave status.

Is there anyone who could give me an account on a faster-than-20-bytes-per

account, that would give a strong authentication.

The RENATER line (and thus EBONE) is almost dead for remote login after
10AM european time... :-(
