Back out roberto's amendment to my update of the Australian distributor's

address - Melbourne is a city in the state of Victoria, not vice versa! :-)

Also add reference to Greg Lehey's books in the appropriate section,
replace some redundant questions by pointers to the Handbook, replace
"look at this bit of the Handbook" pointers by URLs, clean up
inconsistent use of "one" and "you" and fix a couple of typos
introduced by my previous changes...

-          No.  If you are using a utility such as Stacker(tm) or
-          DoubleSpace(tm), FreeBSD will only be able to use whatever
-          portion of the filesystem you leave uncompressed.  The rest of

-
-        <p>
-          Yes.  DOS extended partitions are mapped in at the end of
-          the other ``slices'' in FreeBSD, e.g. your D: drive might
-          be /dev/sd0s5, your E: drive /dev/sd0s6, and so on.  This
-          example assumes, of course, that your extended partition is
-          on SCSI drive 0.  For IDE drives, substitute ``wd'' for ``sd''
-          and so on.  You otherwise mount them exactly like you would
-          mount any other DOS drive, e.g.:
-
-        <p>
-              mount -t msdos /dev/sd0s5 /dos_d
