5efb05808b This text is too outdated, today, sysinstall(8) has no problems creating a

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.

9b7a21de42 Correct some misuses of "its" and "it's".
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.
