>Organization:
Cisco Systems, Inc.
>Environment:

RELENG_4

>Description:

The attached patch corrects the following (IMHO) problems in the
i386 release notes on the RELENG_4 branch.  Some of these might also
be appropriate for 5-current and/or the Alpha as well.  To wit:

1.  Correct FTP site for 4.0-stable snapshots and delete sentence
    fragment immediately following.

2.  Add FDDI section to table of contents (see #5 below) and add
    one line of whitespace.

3.  In userland section, document csh->tcsh, more->less, and 
    colorized ls.

4.  In Ethernet section, do:

	s/gigabit ethernet/Gigabit Ethernet/
	s/fast ethernet/Fast Ethernet/
	s/ethernet/Ethernet/

5.  Pull DEC DEFPA/DEFEA *FDDI* cards out of the *Ethernet* section
    and into their own second-level section.

6.  Add missing period in section header in ATM section.

7.  Tweak upgrading sectio with some new text, not sure if this is
    much better though.

8.  Add a blurb about the -stable mailing list.

          o Using sources, via /usr/src
          o Using sysinstall's (binary) upgrade option.

 You don't give up on the release/texts updates, do you? :-)
 
 The userland changes (tcsh, less, ls -G) are certainly applicable to the
 Alpha, as are the s/ethernet/Ethernet/ bits.  If you have time could you
 send a patch for the alpha/RELNOTES.TXT file as well?  If not I'll look
 at it myself tomorrow perhaps.

 actually, no need -- your i386 patch applied with only one failure
 (which I've fixed manually) to the alpha file.
 
 I'll merge what's needed into the HEAD version first, and commit the
 RELENG_4 stuff ASAP unless someone gets there first.

 also, it would be interresting to explain in some lines how to subscribe

 Well, it's already mentioned further down, so I don't know if this is
