Rewrite the section on downloading files to get all of the URLs in one

place, near the front of the document.

Also try to provide some introduction on the difference between CDROM
and network installs.

+    <para>Currently, there are two ways to install &os;/&arch; on a
+      new machine.  By far the easier of the two is to install from
+      CDROM; this method allows you to install &os; without any
+      dependencies on any other computers.</para>
+
+    <para>If installing from CDROM is impossible or undesirable, the
+      alternative is to install over the network.  This requires
+      another machine, suitably configured, to serve the boot loader,
+      kernel, and root file system to the new machine, via a
+      combination of RARP, TFTP, and either BOOTP or DHCP.  This
+      netboot server can be another &os; machine, but is not required
+      to be.</para>
+
+    <para>You will need to decide which of these methods you want to

+	<para>For a network installation, you will need several files.
+	  First, you will need to download a &os;/&arch; loader for
+	  &man.tftpd.8; to serve to your &arch; client.  There are
+	  currently three ways for a loader to load a kernel; TFTP, NFS,
+	  or a local disk.  There is a separate loader for each of these
+	  methods; you should download one of the following files:</para>

+	  <itemizedlist>
+	    <listitem><para><ulink url="&release.url;loader-tftp.gz"></ulink></para></listitem>

+	    <listitem><para><ulink url="&release.url;loader-ufs.gz"></ulink></para></listitem>
+	  </itemizedlist>
+
+	<para>A network installation also requires a kernel to be served
+	  to the netboot client.  A suitable kernel can be found at
+	  <ulink url="&release.url;"></ulink>.</para>
+
+<!-- XXX kernel filename?-->
+
+	<para>Finally, you will need a &man.tar.1; archive which
+	  contains the binaries and configuration files from the base
+	  system.  This file is available from <ulink
+	  url="&release.url;distrib.tar.gz"></ulink>.</para>
