"will prompt you before" ... There's only one real FINAL warning - "Skip to the next section" -> "skip this section" - "Irrespective of whether" -> "Whether" - "Newer devices..., and be" -> "Newer devices..., and are" - "A tape" -> "SCSI or QIC tape" - -> in some cases - Its -> it's in some cases - "/var directory contains varible length files" -> ... "contains files that are constantly varying" - Network File Service -> Network File System - optimise -> optimize - "then asked" -> "then be asked" - FreeBSD 3.4 -> FreeBSD &rel.current; - partition ID 165 -> partition ID of 165 * Insert many commas and remove many others * Include a link to the latest FreeBSD errata page * Make use of &ms-dos and &windows entities * Make use of tags * Properly markup some 's * Explain when one would use Standard or None as their boot manager * Clarify when to use IPv6 auto-detection * Make use of tags * Clarify testing the mouse daemon during configuration * Remove repeated content about creating installation floppies in * Advanced Installation section * Use /floppy when example mounts a floppy * Remove mention of CDROMs #3-5, since the project no longer publishes them * Remove mention of how the mini-ISO was not produced prior to 4.4 * Many other minor technical and English clarifications Sponsored by: FreeBSD Mall, Inc.
