sizing algorithm);
- Update the / partition creation to really use the same size as the
one given in the partition layout discussion;
- Update sysinstall messages for the mouse configuration.
entries that were removed have existed (largely unchanged) since 2001
and largely refer to problems for specific hardware devices that are
not in common use anymore.
notes to the installation chapter of the handbook. This is basically
a verbatim copy except for changes that were necessary to make the new
text build (consisted of removing a few entities and arch=
attributes).
Subsequent commits will remove questions that (in my opinion) are no
longer relevant or recent and adjust whitespace to match the rest of
this file.
in the "Troubleshooting" section. Moreover, the information provided
in the answers are actually given in more detail in the "Hardware
Requirements" and "Pre-Installation Tasks" sections.
Delete this Q&A section, but move its indexterm elements to other,
more appropriate parts of the chapter.
same information about repartitioning a disk holding DOS partitions.
The earlier (in the text) one is at a more logical place in the flow
of the text, and it also contains more up-to-date information. Add a
few more tidbits culled from the installation notes to the first
discussion about repartitioning and remove the second.
in this case we really should be using an entity that indicates a

update the alpha part (no alpha hardware under the hand).
160GB disk and a 1GB or so of RAM when all the examples in this chapter
are based on a 8GB disk and 256MB of RAM. Let's correct that with an
example matching the installation hardware.
* remove warning that the versions cannot be used for cross-development
outside of the ports tree, this is no longer true
* add reference to the 'autotools' USE_AUTOTOOLS construct (for ports)
and ports/devel/autotools to bring in all available versions of
autotools
* remove table mapping old constructs to USE_AUTOTOOLS stanzas, since
they haven't been present for a long time.
