1853b9bcf6 CD-ROM -> CDROM 
O'Reilly has standardized on 'CD-ROM' as have several other
publishers, however 'CDROM' outnumbers 'CD-ROM' 2 to 1 in our
documentation and it has always appeared this way on FreeBSD CDs from
Walnut Creek/BSDi/WRS.  I don't have a preference either way as long
as it stays consistent.

e6917a777e Properly wrap indexterm entries that exceed 80 characters. Also move 
<indexterm> tags outside of <para>s since this can add extra
whitespace characters to the output (for print stylesheets).

Comment email by:	Udo Erdelhoff <ue@nathan.ruhr.de>
where he addressed many nits in Eric's changes and/or suggested how to
rewrite parts in a correct/better way and gave me some further content.

Eric's patches removed some of Bill Swingle's old work.  I decided
to keep these but to merge Eric's changes into the existing content.

The result is a very fine NIS tutorial, which is supposed to be extended
by NIS Netgroups content written by Udo Erdelhoff soon (at least he
promised that :-])
