actually generate hypertext links to the man pages, like they do
know when the pages themselves are formatted. The obvious problem
is that if you aren't a man page, you don't know where the man
pages are.
tweaks to the "Quick install for the impatient", particularly changing the
recommendation to MS-DOS floppy with bootloader and kernel instead of
boot floppy image
common/sysinst
add .To 2 tags for macppc-specific sections
common/postinstall
change tlp0 to de0 in description of typical ethernet interface
This makes it _much_ more user-friendly, as it allows users
to skip to the parts they want easily.
At present, the TOCs are generated files, and can be regenerated
with "make tocs" (probably has to be run twice to account for
the size of the table itself).
TOCs are named INSTALL.{PostScript,ASCII,HTML,more}.toc instead of
INSTALL.{ps,txt,html,more}.toc because that's what \*[format]
expands to.

need to use -current
mention that AirPort/AirMac 802.11b wireless is supported in -current
mention that CPU upgrades are supported

mention that some older models not listed might work, but are untested
mention that some iMac (Bondi Blue) and PowerMacintosh G3 (Blue and White)
systems have keyboard problems

fine for it and the iMac (Bondi)
macppc/prep:
make the whole BootROM/Open Firmware distinction clearer
describe that some models have to remove internal modem or set
