The installation instructions in the release documents are so outdated
that I got rid of them for 7.X...we just refer people to the Handbook
instead (which has more detail and is actually receiving some TLC).

I added a mention of gparted to the Installation instructions for 6.X
and the Handbook several months ago.  So when 6.3 comes out, it'll
mention this.  (I didn't think of it...another FreeBSD user pointed this
out via PR.)
