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.

38eb806c35 Correct the kernel options parameter (s/option/options/). 
Also move the options USER_LDT to a note text, since the
handbook focusses on FreeBSD 5.X and later.

61b0b6fde1 Update transcode section. As example I showed how to convert a DivX 
stream to a PAL VCD one.  Maybe some would prefer a complete DVD
authoring example, I may add that but I'm not sure that will fit in the
Handbook.

3bae3606f6 In scanners section: 
By default, under 5.X, uscanner0 permissions are 0640 preventing users
in operator group to use the scanner (a write access is required).  So
let's show how to change the permissions to 660 (for example) via
devfs.rules and the devfs_system_ruleset option in rc.conf.
This gives an example on how to change permissions on a node that is not
always present at system boot.

10c0800f23 Add quotes around snd_emu10k1. 
The config(8) coming with 5.X requires the quotes.  This syntax
should not be a problem for the reader since just after the kernel line,
the text says: "Be sure to read the manual page of the driver for the
syntax to use." etc.
