* Document a workaround for getting past the groff infinite loop problemimp2003-05-041-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | when your userland is older tahn your kernel and Makefile.inc1 therefore thinks that you don't need to rebuild groff, when in fact you do. This workaround is to set OSRELDATE to 500110 before building, but only if you have a new enough Makefile.inc1. I've confirmed this on my laptop, which was suffering from this problem. Since it only hits power users, we'll naively assume that such users are smart enough to read UPDATING.
* Per previous announcement, remove the old version of the rc system.dougb2003-05-021-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | All functionality from the previous system has been preserved, and users should still customize their system boot with the familiar methods, rc.conf, rc.conf.local, rc.firewall, sysctl.conf, etc. Users who have customized versions of scripts that have been removed should take great care when upgrading, since the compatibility code that used those old scripts has also been removed.
