Not the same. Again, what I wanted to mean is that it is not a
typical installation/building method for users who read a chapter
for normal installation in Handbook. I did not mean by the word "advanced"
it is difficult to understand or simply complex, so I showed multi-os
and fbsd-from-scratch as examples. They are actually useful
configurations but not topics which Handbook has to cover in detail,
and I think they are ones which users should read *after* Handbook.
Mixing these two sort of topics often makes Handbook's structure
complex. A lot of information at one place is not always good.

I cannot agree with this sort of ideas. The FAQ was created
based on a idea "all of useful Q&A in a book", but we have not
been able to maintain it well actually, for example.
