Restructure the Sparc installation instructions to
- get rid of the 4th level headings - seperate the actions required to prepare the installation (getting the CD, settings up the various daemons, ...) from the actual installation Translation teams: This patch moves some paragraphs around and changes a lot of <sectX> headers, but does not contain any content changes in the strict sense of the word (i.e. I did not rewrite paragraphs yet). There were no changes to the indentation, either. Reviewed by: bmah, -sparc, -doc
