Description eogren 2000-07-27 07:30:00 UTC

 The FAQ has a couple of entries about 4.0 being the latest release on
the 4-STABLE branch. Since 4.1 is hitting the FTP sites very soon (if it
hasn't already), these should probably be updated to 4.1.
 This patch also slightly rewords a couple of sentences in the big ASCII
tree in the Preface.

How-To-Repeat: 
n/a

You may want to use 1,$s/4\.0/4.1/g next time ;-)

You may want to add 3.5-RELEASE (June 2000)

"with 3.5-RELEASE having been released in June 2000"

I would prefer to use 4-STABLE instead of 4.X-STABLE. There's only one
CVS Branch for the variouses 4.X-Releases.

will result in "... found in the <the 4.1-RELEASE> directory." (link part
denoted by <>)

One of the two "the" can be removed and the word directory should be a part
of the link, too. In other words, use 

found in <ulink URL="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.1-RELEASE/"the 4.1-RELEASE directory</ulink>.</para>

and get 
"...found in <the 4.1-RELEASE directory>"

Again, I'd prefer to use 4-STABLE instead of 4.X-STABLE.
