The branch stable/14 has been updated by ziaee: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=0dec63d3777254b37aac93e36a35044ff10e5f5f commit 0dec63d3777254b37aac93e36a35044ff10e5f5f Author: Alexander Ziaee <ziaee@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2025-10-03 22:26:05 +0000 Commit: Alexander Ziaee <ziaee@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2026-02-06 00:25:02 +0000 bsdinstall.8: Minor maintenance Replace CD-ROMs with "discs, USBs, or network boot environments" to both modernize aesthetic and also nudge youths to think at scale. Since I'm disrupting the flow of these lines anyway, expand the VM acronym because I think this is one of the first manuals people will be looking at. Reset list alignment to seven characters. It was at 19 characters, and that was not enough to align them all, wasting many extra lines by crunching all the words over. Seven actually bought us some lines from six due to avg item size.
