* Removed material that was duplicated in the installation instructions.
* Updated the address for an Australian supplier of CDROMs (supplied by
David Henshaw via Martin Butkus).
* Give more info about how to get started with the installation.
* Update references to 2.1.0 as "the latest release".
* Added pointer to a Web page explaining how to have multiple operating
systems on the same machine.
* Moved question about running DOS binaries out of the installation section.
* Added question re boot floppy not loading properly.
* Added explanation of disk geometry, moved things around so that "please
refer to the previous question" no longer sends the reader with a
non-booting system to a PLIP cable wiring diagram!
* Mention the time/space requirements for making a custom install floppy.
* Acknowledge a couple of people whose answers I've adapted in various
places (and who deserve credit anyway for answering so many questions!)
I forgot his name whilst typing in the commit message on the
port, and he wasn't in the handbook (I guessed wrong, using Marc
Van Kempen, sorry to both). Now, his name is in here and I
won't get mixed up again!

(1) Additional __FreeBSD_version's from <osreldate.h>. Closes PR
docs/1438.
Submitted by: "David E. O'Brien" <obrien@Nuxi.cs.ucdavis.edu>
(2) Make it clear that when submitting a port, the package is not
necassary.
Suggested by: joerg
(3) Recommend people to use send-pr to send us notifications of new
ports and upgrades so that they won't fall between the cracks.
Suggested by: a lot of people
(4) Add a section about Motif and describe REQUIRES_MOTIF and
MOTIFLIB.
Prodded by: chuckr
(5) Revise the licensing problems section and describe the two
variables RESTRICTED and NO_CDROM.
(6) Fill in the section about upgrading. In particular, recommend to
send in diffs of the old and new ports (these are "ports", not the
original source or anything!), so it's easier to see what has
changed.
Discourage the use of the EXB-2501 by now, and slightly improve the
formatting for this entry.
Correct some minor oddities for the Tandberg entries based on my input
data.
Minor addition to the <!-- tech> section for QIC.
