I need to find a brave soul to work on it :) Some details: - in text sysinstall is without upper case and between application tags - fdisk is fdisk not FDisk etc... - use of disklabel instead of Disklabel in the text. - use of fips instead of FIPS. - Partition Magic is not changed, the commercial name is with uppercases - DEFRAG should be defrag. - Norton Disk Tools, Stacker, and DoubleSpace are apps, and so need application tags.
