From the PR:
1. Correct FTP site for 4.0-stable snapshots and delete sentence fragment immediately following. [ not applicable to HEAD ] 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. [ changed to -current list in HEAD ] PR: 20015 Submitted by: Bruce A. Mah <bmah@cisco.com>
