Stop assuming people have experience with DOS or OS/2:
	Some time in the last couple of years this experience
	ceased to be common place.

it seems unlikely that users new to FreeBSD will want to do any of
		- use a floppy
		- use DOS
	and even using a tape drive and printing aren't common first tasks

	remove this section

dfe9966e3f Using "mount -t msdos" is deprecated; the canonical name of the
filesystem type is "msdosfs".  There has been some compatibility
glue in mount(8) to silently convert "mount -t msdos" to "mount
-t msdosfs" for a while now, but using the deprecated name may
cause errors when someone tries to "umount -t msdos".  The later
doesn't work at all.

5fa082b1f8 Simplify parameter entities in doctype declaration.
Currently we have articles.ent and books.ent, and
for example, articles.ent can be used by putting the
following lines in the doctype declaration:

 <!ENTITY % articles.ent PUBLIC
            "-//FreeBSD//ENTITIES DocBook FreeBSD Articles Entity Set//EN">
 %articles.ent;

This pulls all of the necessary entities via share/sgml/articles.ent.

The translation teams can customize these entities by redefining
the articles.ent file in <langcode>/share/sgml.  See
ja_JP.eucJP/share/sgml for example.

84f8ee0a15 Use relative URLs when URL_RELPREFIX is defined and URLS_ABSOLUTE
is not defined.

- URL_RELPREFIX must always point the top page's URL
  (http://www.FreeBSD.org) in relative form, defined in Makefile.

- &url.base; can be used in doc/<langcode>/*.  It will be
  replaced with the real URL which points the top page.

For translators: Please make sure to define URL_RELPREFIX to
point the top page.  The localized docs have different directory
hierarchy in its URL from the English version.
