- Remove a contraction
- Add a missing ; to an entity
- s/sceren/screen
- s/Yes/[ Yes ] and s/No/[ No ] for consistency
- s/X-server/X server
- Add a missing closing tag.
Also expand some contractions of the same, discovered while I was
hunting down all of the above.
This commit can very likely be ignored by translation teams, as I doubt
that this problem transcends languages.

Mention:
- this chapter is a general guide, not a literal reference manual
- what partition types PResizer, FIPS, and PartitionMagic deal with
- subnet mask as a requirement to configure Ethernet interface
- most computers can boot from CDROM/DVD drive
- Windows does not report bad blocks when formatting floppies
- BIOS "list of devices" is commonly known as "Boot Order"
- If old OS loads, BIOS may not support boooting from desired media
- use of "U"ndo in FDisk Editor
- one needs to change their Keymap only if they're using a
non-standard keyboard

being installed on disk 2
- how much space the FreeBSD Ports Collection uses
- purpose of NFS client
- how an improper X configuration can freeze the machine/installation
- how to "Cancel" out of the Package installer
- C-shell (example uses bash)

PPP interfaces
- mention that there is "always" conflicts in UserConfig

- "Irrespective of whether" -> "Whether"

- <important> -> <warning> in some cases
- Its -> it's in some cases
- "/var directory contains varible length files" -> ... "contains
files that are constantly varying"
