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... Glen
