fa93dd8624 Whitespace fixups. 2005-05-12 21:33:12 +00:00
John Baldwin
cd44ed208a Clean up some confusing text and clarify that sched_pin/unpin only operate 
on curthread on the current CPU.  Reference sched_bind/unbind for those
looking for something more general.

5c855039bf - Add 2005 as a copyright year. 
- Add markup to several variable, constant, and function names.
- Remove trailing () from marked up functions to be consistent.

dd193d1279 We discuss increasing NMBCLUSTERS in the Handbook. 
Don't have separate, old instructions in the FAQ, point to the
authoritative Handbook instead.

621c7b4607 Same bogus URL, different question. 2005-05-12 20:23:16 +00:00
Michael Lucas
4c8882f6f9 Perhaps if the URL 
"http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html#micron"
existed, we could get more information there.  But it doesn't, so we
can't.

0f83c3ca9a "Does FreeBSD support power management?"

c1a6879570 rename an anchor that has no relationship to the name it had. 
Annoyed by old name: ceri@

65c08b4b6c This was a rather weirdly named anchor, and unnecessary to boot.

0407691942 Get rid of math co-processor questions. We don't run on that sort of 
hardware out-of-the-box anyway, so it's not a FAQ.

Thanks to: Erik Trulsson <ertr1013@student.uu.se>, for actually having
the presence of mind to go look at UPDATING and confirm/deny this.

e0236a92e8 The Bustek 742a controller? It appears that this card was heavily 
used, back around 1992.

The mailing list archive shows 0 questions about this.  Given the
number of FAQs that are asked, I think this is pretty indicative of
the number of people using this card, i.e., few if any.

4f4cce4170 Remove a beautifully detailed, helpful, lengthy explanation of how to 
use bad144 with bad blocks on disks.

I asked the original author about this in 2001, and he said this text
was old and irrelevant at the time.  Four years on, it's even more
irrelevant.

these days?

b1c0d85564 More 3.X removals. 
This concludes the easy and obvious 3.X removals.  What's left
requires something resembling conscious thought, and perhaps even
actual decision-making.

2e65a05279 A process doesn't "like" to do anything, and "always does" is not an

e0a653d49b The FAQ is guilty of egregious and annoying use of the word "simply," 
i.e.:

"Simply use this command" is vaguely patronizing, especially when the
command is a Perl regex with a few obscure (to new users) command-line
options attached.  "Use this command" answers the question, and
doesn't imply that you should know this already.

In most cases, when you begin a sentence with the word "simply" you
shouldn't.  Simply begin your sentence with the second word instead.
