f02b3db43e Trim the 'mirror' questions (IMHO not frequently asked, and get in the way 
where they are).  Also, since there is now a glossary, just point to it
instead of duplicating the definitions of such terms as MFC and POLA here.

0407691942 Get rid of math co-processor questions. We don't run on that sort of 
hardware out-of-the-box anyway, so it's not a FAQ.

e0236a92e8 The Bustek 742a controller? It appears that this card was heavily 
used, back around 1992.

The mailing list archive shows 0 questions about this.  Given the
number of FAQs that are asked, I think this is pretty indicative of
the number of people using this card, i.e., few if any.

4f4cce4170 Remove a beautifully detailed, helpful, lengthy explanation of how to 
use bad144 with bad blocks on disks.

I asked the original author about this in 2001, and he said this text
was old and irrelevant at the time.  Four years on, it's even more
irrelevant.
