66134445fd There is no "It-span" macro, replace with "It"; size column correctly
to fix a formatting error (hi hubertf!). Empty lines should have a single
dot, not two or none.

a7177904b4 * Update lots of set sizes
* Merge paragraph for various arch's 'xserver' set, so the size
   can be added after that paragraph in one block for all archs.

Todo:
 * Where is the 2.0 amd64 snapshot on releng.netbsd.org ?!?
 * Portmasters, update your kernels and other MD stuff in here!
 * Set sizes (all sets) needed for: hp700 sun2 xen-i386 (see "XXX old")
 * Various kernel sizes

00056feaf5 Changes:
* update copyright year
 * update list of ports     XXX portmasters please check!
 * fix a few paths
 * note that you can also get into OFW via a BREAK if on cereal console
 * pkgsrc is at something like 5000 pkgs
 * remove a few numbers that would need maintenance otherwise
   (and that aren't easy to determine - ports (not) released in binary)
 * Yank section on "upgrade path to netbsd 1.6", same for 1.5
 * There are no more README.export-control files (it seems?)
 * Update compressed+unpacked src set sizes (estimate xsrc & pkgsrc)
 * mention updating via CVS besides SUP
 * Update list of obsolete /etc/rc.d files, new and removed users & groups
 * Update list of sites that host/run our hardware (-redback, +isc, +ssh.fi)
 * Create list of portmeisters from scratch, with list-portmeisters.pl

Todo:
 * what's the exact number of ports, archs and cpus supported?
 * the "new in 2.0" list needs ... um, creation. Badly!
 * "The Future of NetBSD" may need updating
 * where is xsrc.tar.gz?
 * Fix formatting bug in automatically created portmeister-list
   in INSTALL.txt at "UCHIYAMA Yasushi" (XXX needs a *roff guru?)
 * the "releng" crew disagrees between this file and
   http://www.netbsd.org/People/groups/#releng

Todo:

* document what netbsd-GENERIC_DIAGNOSTIC is
 * i386: the X-server most likely wanted is XFree86

8bff586af3 Update for 2.0:
* Fix a few paths and grammar
 * VAX can install from CD-ROM (mmm, simh-vax :)
 * Add note to unzip inst.fs.gz file before using, on x68k
   (XXX someone please check!)
 * properly .if the region about floppy being allowed to be write-protected
   (seems not applicable to x68k by the comments)
 * Add a few likely places where the distribution is on CD-ROMs
 * Mention that DHCP is an alternative to remembering IP-numbers
 * Update list of available IDE drives to four (wd[0-3]) and
   five SCSI disks (sd[0-4]).
   XXX please review for hp300, pmax, sgimips, sparc, sparc64 and
       maybe remove the ".if!" above that paragraph
 * Mention etcupdate for a way to update the etc set

Todo: XXX
 * Provide split sets - it's documented and supported by sysinst
   (or say how to create them?)
 * Fix mentions of "set_name.xx" for the AmigaDOS installation
 * x68k: fix to tell where to get "netbsd" from (how to run gzip.x on
   netbsd-INSTALL.gz on the x86k's native OS?)
 * Someone please either re-summon PS/2 "boot-ps2.fs" or remove the note on it
 * Tape install:
	.Dl # Ic "cd \*M/binary"
	.Dl # Ic "tar -cf" Ar tape_device Ic "misc etc kern"
   That doesn't work with today's set format (binary/sets/misc.tgz ...)
