>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.

  If you're upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, most likely
! it's 3.0 and some of the following issues may affect you, depending
  of course on your chosen method of upgrading.  There are two popular
  ways of upgrading FreeBSD distributions:
  
          o Using sources, via /usr/src
          o Using sysinstall's (binary) upgrade option.
  
! Please read the UPGRADE.TXT file for more information.
  
  
  5. Reporting problems, making suggestions, submitting code.
