As I am nearly completing translation of bsdinstall to Greek, I've found quite a few more whitespace only changes and nits in the original text, including a couple of spaces at end of lines and wrong indentation levels at a few sections. While I'll make sure to fix these in the Greek text, I will not be committing these to the original chapter. Whitespace only changes should probably be avoided as they only add bloat to the repository (I think this is Urlich's concern also) - and at this point the chapter is relatively new and will go over more and more changes that will render the whitespace fixes useless. I think it would be best to let the chapter mature for a while - maybe a month or two - and then fix all whitespace issues in a single commit (if deemed necessary).
