dd93911fd5 Now that the Handbook has a nice long binary format discussion, remove 
the horrible long binary format discussion from the FAQ.

6fa84d219b Add "Binary Formats" section to Unix Basics chapter. 
I don't like this here, but it sucks less than having it in any other
sections.

This text bears a *very* suspicious similarity to the binary format
questions in the FAQ.

Rewrite DOS binaries question to reflect the modern age, and to not
imply that dosemu development is hugely ongoing project.

1afa61544b Whitespace only change, translators please ignore. 
The FAQ was full of lines longer than 80 characters, lines broken into
two chunks of 45 characters, irregularly wrapped, sections mis-spaced,
and so on.

These are all fixed.

I avoided all the code listings of course, so as to not screw up
formatting.

Tested by: make, re-reading the whole FAQ

This piece of boring grunt work brought to you by: "I went to bed
early so I can catch up on sleep and really enjoy the rest of USENIX.
What do you mean, I have insomnia?"

e551652e4f "The newer AIC789x series Adaptec chips are supported under 
the CAM SCSI framework which made its debut in 3.0."

"Newer" and "3.0" are mutually exclusive...

4f5b827be8 Word wrap. 
Somehow, an entire question got shoved over several spaces...  don't
know by who, and really don't care who, just fix it.

8d2e61f291 You can connect more versions of Windows to the Internet via FreeBSD 
than just Windows 95.

While I'm here, point at tutorials in the Handbook rather than useless
links further into the FAQ.

96973886a6 Any FAQ that begins with "I just upgraded to 2.0.5" deserves to be

28bd63f40c Now that the "using mail with dialup" tutorial is in the Handbook, axe 
it from the FAQ.

Two tutorials down, several thousand dozen to go...

900a4b7bac Add a tutorial on using mail with dialup. 
Ripped from the FAQ, language cleaned up, but not tested for technical
accuracy.  Once again, assume that the original author knew what they
were talking about.

b1c3caac2d Now that the UUCP/SMTP tutorial is in the Handbook, kill it in the FAQ. 
Brought to you by: the sugar rush from the white chocolate macadamia
		   cookies at the FreeBSD Developers' Summit.
 2003-06-10 22:10:37 +00:00
Michael Lucas
05481293a2 Add the long "Using SMTP with UUCP" tutorial to the Handbook. Ripped 
from the FAQ.  No tutorials belong in the FAQ.

While I have done some basic grammar checking on this, and made the
writing a little more professional, I have not checked the contents
for technical accuracy; I am assuming that whoever wrote the FAQ entry
knew what they were doing.  :-)

0d9904cff7 Rewrite "System V IPC" question. 
FreeBSD 3.2 and later is now the default, so don't treat it as an
exception.  I'm not quite comfortable killing a 3.2-relevant question,
and the info may be useful for someone who has already customized
their kernel.
