3f0d1b56f0 Do what I swore would be done:
o Remove 4.X information, this includes notes and sections.

o Update documentation to reflect 5.X and 6.X.

o In some areas, try to make the new content version agnostic.

o Skip areas stating "5.[0-5] and later" as it's relevant - we
need a better way to handle these.

For several items, I checked the NOTES files, manual pages,
CVS history, etc.

754bf4e921 Thank you for providing us with a blank page. Well, there is a paragraph
here, and it links to an entire chapter about the subject.  So, remove
the "Personalizing Users" paragraph/section.

eb2cd84505 Internet Explorer fails to render some tables generated by the
informaltable element properly, unless the pgwide attribute is
explicitly set to 1.  Use this consistently within the (en) tree, and

ba0c620b0c It is better not to mistype a password incorrectly at all, rather than
twice, so change a sentence to reflect that.
Also improve some grammar, while I'm changing the sentence anyway.

0232f3620e Add frame="none" to informaltable to be consistent. This looks better
in HTML and much better in print.

Also, add a colwidth attribute that makes the print output look better
and has no effect on the HTML output (browsers size the columns there)
