Actually, this section needs a big red GIF overlay stating something
equivalent to:

"You have reached the end of this document.  Please scroll down and
click 'Next'."

The 7.4-RELEASE 'releases/' directory was removed last month, so now we
have no floppies available anywhere.

I was originally just going to update the URL, but now that would be
moot.  This section really needs to go away now, but the rest of the
Handbook should first be checked for references to this Floppy section.

It's on my TODO list...
