>Release: FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
Cisco Systems, Inc.
>Environment:
RELENG_4
>Description:
The attached patch corrects the following (IMHO) problems in the
i386 release notes on the RELENG_4 branch. Some of these might also
be appropriate for 5-current and/or the Alpha as well. To wit:
1. Correct FTP site for 4.0-stable snapshots and delete sentence
fragment immediately following.
2. Add FDDI section to table of contents (see #5 below) and add
one line of whitespace.
3. In userland section, document csh->tcsh, more->less, and
colorized ls.
4. In Ethernet section, do:
s/gigabit ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet/
s/fast ethernet/Fast Ethernet/
s/ethernet/Ethernet/
5. Pull DEC DEFPA/DEFEA *FDDI* cards out of the *Ethernet* section
and into their own second-level section.
6. Add missing period in section header in ATM section.
7. Tweak upgrading sectio with some new text, not sure if this is
much better though.
8. Add a blurb about the -stable mailing list.
