faq

  ~ faq5.html                             ~ index.html

  > remove the following sections:
  > - "why should i build my system from source"
  > - "why do i need a custom kernel"
  > - "i didn't see any snapshots on the http site"
  > - "how do i bootstrap a newer version of the compiler" (tj@)

  ~ faq5.html                             

  > remove section 5.9.3 "my ipv6-less system doesn't work!" (tj@)

  ~ faq11.html                            

  > remove section 11.1.2 "can i have any kind of graphics without x?" because
  > it basically just says nope.
  > and if you have to ask "how much computer do i need to run x?" then the
  > answer
  > is probably "more than you have." (tj@)

  ~ faq14.html                            ~ faq4.html

  > Remove very long, at times very outdated, description of boot process
  > for i386/amd64 and just refer to the relevant man pages. Nuke pointless
  > extra section on installboot. Don't pretend we document both i386 and
  > amd64 and just use amd64 as a proxy. Update anchor to reflect this. (tb@)

  ~ faq14.html                            ~ index.html

  > remove section on optimizing disk performance:
  > soft updates already have their separate section,
  > optimizing namei cache is very old and was largely unmaintained.
  > remove section on async mounts: if you found out about them,
  > you'll likely have found the man page which was just quoted. (tb@)

  > ok matthieu (tj@)

  ~ index.html                            

  > move section 8.2 "x won't start, i get lots of errors" to the main x11 faq.
  > also remove mention of alpha since i'm told x doesn't work there.
  > suggested by matthieu (tj@)

  > faq) (tj@)

  > actually need to be fixed. (tj@)

  ~ faq14.html                            ~ index.html

  > shuffle the sections a bit:
  > - shorten and merge "deleted disklabel" section into "using disklabel"
  > - move the four large beasts that will need a LOT of work to the end (tb@)
