- Kirk McKusick's "Twenty Years of Berkeley Unix", for a
history of BSD.
- Goldman and Gabriel's book "Innovation Happens Elsewhere"
for business strategies around open-source.
- Remove the whole make deinstall business. Tell people to run pkg_delete
directly
- Move Ports and Disk Space after Upgrading Ports; count on people installing
Portupgrade in Upgrading text, I'm showing some portupgrade utilities there.
The section is rewritten anyway.
- Start Upgrading text with mention of pkg_version -v
- Cut the awfully informal chatter at the beginning of Upgrading text
- Reword the rest of Upgrading text, add examples in there
- Mention pkgdb -F earlier, kill <note>
- Suggest portsclean -C for mass cleaning
- Suggest portsclean -D for distfile cleanup
- Mention pkg_cutleaves tool
- Collapse the CD-ROM and Internet instructions into single text; assume
people have Internet access.
- Suggest people using `make clean' after each installation
- Remove bash from the text about using `rehash', recent bash does not need it
- Move the interesting bits of CD-ROM instructions down and update them
to match existing FreeBSDMall product line
- move the CVSup Method to top and Sysinstall Method to bottom
- suggest people to not use Sysinstall method unless they got no Internet
access
- add the Portsnap Method, adapted from the Appendix section on the Portsnap
I think we should keep it with this generic description
which works most of the time.

(http://docs.FreeBSD.org/doc/). This should be an answer to various
headaches when it's time to maintain the correctness of a documentation
for the various branches. The Handbook currently covers the use of
FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE and FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE (and 7-CURRENT since now the
changes between branches will be less "important"), so the users of
previous releases should read the versions archived on
http://docs.FreeBSD.org/doc/
on a fresh system. Marc [1] spotted this during a fresh
installation using the handbook to get the machine up and running.
