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.
