>Release:        FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE i386
>Organization:
BUGO - BSD Users Group of Orlando
>Environment:

FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE i386

>Description:

Various fixes to faq/book.sgml:

* Changed various entries from 3.2 to 3.3.
* Updated the entries to correspond to the new directory
  structure at ftp.freebsd.org (/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/xxx)
* Removed reference to RELENG_2_2 snapshots which no longer
  exist.
* Added reference to allscreens_flags="-m on" for using moused
  on all virtual terminals.
* Added note that 3.3-RELEASE has 8 virtual terminals by default.

In addition, it might be noted that the FAQ references both virtual
consoles and terminals throughout; should this be standardized to
one or the other?
