tv 6b5b36ae1f Fix "NetBSD/i386" to .Nx*M. 2000-11-16 17:12:08 +00:00
fvdl ad1dadd33b Mention the a.out -> ELF transition, and what sysinst does to accomplish
it.
2000-11-14 12:30:28 +00:00
hubertf f898d4a492 Several changes to our release notes, OK'd by Luke Mewburn:
* mention additional kernels in binary/kernel/ dir: GENERIC_LAPTOP, etc
  * note that we also include firewall software (besides X, ...)
  * don't Xref the BUGS file, as it's gone
  * update some file sizes (source .tgz files) to match BETA2
  * mention that syssrc contains the source for all architectures
  * Sysinst now allows setting root password and timezone - note that.
  * Explain how to actually install binary packages, giving some
    examples that people may want to install.
  * Mention rawrite32 near rawrite.
  * Don't show preparation of install tape on i386
  * update i386 hardware a bit. This needs to be generated automatically...
  * Many minor nits & typos.

lukem 1742d8acf0 more work:
- use .Tn, .Bx, .Ul, .Key, .Sq, .Dq, .Li, .Dl, (etc) ... as appropriate
- be more consistent between various ports' install notes
- other cleanups
2000-10-29 14:08:04 +00:00
ad ffbf434933 Note twe. 2000-10-20 11:55:33 +00:00
lukem 54b38d4691 - update whatis files to contain (hopefully) up to date info on:
- "this is the xxx major release"
	- features added and bugs fixed in 1.5
- use .Nx instead of NetBSD
- use .Sq instead of ' [...] ' or ` [ ... ] '
- use .Dq instead of " [...] "
2000-10-14 22:27:41 +00:00
lukem b4d52d9d24 major terraform (this is MUCH more than a rototill :-), including:
- update for 1.5 (still more MD stuff to check)
- use new macros in ../common/macros as appropriate
- introduce some CONSISTENCY between the various ports' install docs
- use various mdoc macros as appropriate, including .Li, .Pa, .Sy, and .Ic.
- migrate more stuff into ../common/*
- whitespace cleanup
- lots of other little things i'm sure...
2000-10-10 12:55:15 +00:00
lukem c8d0b98254 migrate */contents -> common/contents, as there was *way* too much
unnecessary duplication.  wrap the MD stuff in  .if r_foo \{\  ...  .\}
2000-10-10 12:30:52 +00:00
lukem 791987d225 use - instead of -- 2000-10-04 00:35:13 +00:00
lukem d88b30e5b3 if we're going to refer to `sysinst' in the literal, don't capitalise
its name at the start of a sentence.

lukem f7ad6f8074 - use .Pp to separate paragraphs
- indent paragraphs which are preceeded by the paragraph
	``In the following statement, "This software" refers to the [...]''
2000-10-04 00:28:36 +00:00
lukem 2b0e78e073 - remove 1.4 stuff, and add some 1.5 stuff like ELF and MCA
- use \*V instead of `1.4'.

soda 9b59eb4406 backout previous my change (move legal notice of wjolitz from i386 to common),
since
 - it broke context of sentence in i386 port.
 - it seems to better to have port specific legal notice in
   port specific place from maintenance point of view.
