Description Josef El-Rayes 2003-07-22 22:40:10 UTC 
	i did the following updates:
	(1)	s/4.X/5.X or added 5.X to version enumerations
	(2)	i replaced windows 95/98 with 2000/XP which is more accurate,
		most people use these versions now
	(3)	i removed a para about 3.X to 4.X specific errors, this
		really is updated
	(4)	i reworked the 3.X -> 4.X update para to 4.X -> 5.X para.

These changes are bogus; Windows 2000 (at least, I don't know about XP),
like Windows NT, doesn't touch the boot manager.  You can install FreeBSD
and Windows 2000 in whichever order you like.
