2311fe3263 * Mention the different floppy images and the machine types for which
they are suitable (for i386).
* Mention xf86config(1) for ports that use XFree86.
* Since i386 INSTALL kernels do not have symbols, point users at
  the symbol files should they need them (hopefully not).

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.

sysinst:        tsubai-san says that macppc doesn't suffer from install-related
                pcmcia interrupt problems.  removed those for macppc
