URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/44824
Log:
Fix some grammos noticed in previous whitespace fixes.
Reword to remove i.e., simply, and please.
This whole document needs a thorough editorial review and a tech review
to remove outdated material.
Much of this material belongs in, or is already in, the Handbook.
Many more commits to come.
