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.
quick start info about bootable CD-R image
common/sysinst:
point to FAQ entry on missing hard drives
macppc/hardware:
fix info on D-Link 530TX (vr) and 530TX+ (rtk)
Some PowerBooks (FireWire and G4) won't work with FirmWare update 4.1.8,
need to use -current
mention that AirPort/AirMac 802.11b wireless is supported in -current
mention that CPU upgrades are supported
macppc/install:
point to partition numbering explanation in FAQ
fix kernel name on bootable cd-rom and mention case sensitivity
macppc/prep:
mention that people unfamiliar with MacOS should mail the port-macppc
list.
Some PowerBooks (FireWire and G4) won't work with FirmWare update 4.1.8,
need to use -current
Umax S900 isn't supported by System Disk
describe how to use Disk Copy to create the bootable floppy
point to partition numbering explanation in FAQ
point to ISO mirror site list
quick guide for impatient reword netboot section, also macppc can netboot
macppc/hardware:
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
mention that ttya is "modem" port, and ttyb is "printer" port
macppc/install:
describe the keyboard workaround for PM G3 (B&W), and that 1.4.3 works
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
input/output devices to ttyb since int modem usurps ttya.
macppc/whatis:
mention important changes, such as ELF, binary compatability, newly
supported models that don't require kernel patches, and that the install
procedure described now works for all models (i.e. Open Firmware 3
machines with only one hard drive).
identifisers => identifiers
wording in the 1.5.1 section release explanation
Xr ifconfig(8) for cloning pseudointerfaces
Consistently reference security advisories.
(XXX: do we need to explain them better? a footnote?)
wording of dhcp bullet
\(em
s/together with a 1.5 kernel/running under a 1.5 kernel/
Update document date.
Periods at ends of sentences.
Don't hyphenate NetBSD (for .ps versions)
Avoid wording that implies the current release is 1.5.
Emdashes are \(em and not -- and especially not '-'; no surrounding whitespace
bound checking => bounds checking
Grammar (including parallelism, articles, etc.)
Tagged lists spaced from largest tag.
Semicolons for list delimitters where commas are ambiguous.
Colons after text before examples.

note The End
* 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.
- document rc.d in `compatability issues with previous releases' section
- wrap .Dl blocks with .Pp
- use .Ul, .Pa, .Tn, .Bx, ...
- use .Pp after .Ss (since .Ss2 does this, and it looks slightly better)
- add tv@ to releng
- define string `A' to contain the arch name (defaults to the port
name)
- define registers \*A and _\*A if
- deprecate _FOR_RELEASE, and just use FOR_RELEASE
- optimize suggested commands (e.g, tar usage, ...)
- consistently use `@netbsd.org' in email addresses
- remember to thank the people who host the WWW, GNATS, CVS and CVSweb servers
- add blurb about trademark ownership
- update MACHINE_LIST for the 31 ports we support (as of 1.5)
- define registers for MACHINE_ARCH, depending upon \*M; may set one
of the following as appropriate: _m68k, _mips, _powerpc, _sh3
- change to using various new macros added in ../common/macros
http://www.netbsd.org/Sites/net.html
It's probably safe to assume that a user wanting access to a mirror
site can access this URL...
- Highlight that with the latest BIND code you need to now use
options { version "newfoo"; }
to change the infoleak string. (1.3.3 didn't have the infoleak,
but it crept back into 1.4)
* The merged contents file didn't work out, so nuke it and put it back
into each port directory. Most still have the now-pointless conditionals;
these now should be deleted.
* fix alpha, amiga, and arm32 to delete the maze of twisty little conditionals
