1f47599122 Make temporary changes to the FAQ in time for 2.1.5, pending a more
comprehensive re-write later.

* Ruthlessly condense questions so they fit on a single line (the
  TOC is now actually readable in lynx!). In one or two cases, this
  has meant splitting up questions or incorporating part of the old
  question into the answer.

* Make it clear that the question about disklabel'ing is actually
  about adding a second hard disk, provide a _much_ simpler answer and
  move it out of the installation section.

* Don't imply that the AHA2920 is supported (I suspect we will get a
  lot of queries about this)

* Reword the non-serious questions to hint that the answer may not be
  particularly informative...

* Correct typos and grammar, remove US-centric colloquialisms :-)

and many more.

cb4a54c743 Update the "CD-ROM not configured" question.
"It would be good to point out that a machine that only has SCSI devices
may also generate this message if an IDE CD-ROM is not configured as
the Master device. Words like these might work ..."

        This generally means that there is no CDROM in the CDROM drive,
        or the drive is not visible on the bus. Feed the drive
        something, and/or check it's master/slave status.

7e2e1c064b Update the FAQ.
Is there anyone who could give me an account on a faster-than-20-bytes-per
second line to the US (not EBONE) ? I'm having too many problems connecting
to freefall to do commits... It would be better if it could be a ssh-protected
account, that would give a strong authentication.

The RENATER line (and thus EBONE) is almost dead for remote login after
10AM european time... :-(

Thanks in advance.

f74d7c2f47 Major overhaul of the FAQ. I've added several contributions
specially from Darryl Okahata. I've rewritten several URL to the proper
<url url="" name=""> tag. There is still room for improvement but it
should be closer to 2.0.5R now. I'll try to be faster for future updates...
