Hi,

I've recently submitted a patch to the handbook[1] to update the ISO
image names and meanings table to reflect what is currently listed on
the FTP server.  I inadvertently submitted the patch to add content as
well as whitespace fixes.  I have two patches attached, which split
these changes.  The patches apply cleanly in either order, but more
cleanly applying the whitespace fix first, as patch(1) doesn't display
two sections where the offset differs.

I'm following up to that PR as well as two others mentioned as they all
affect the same section of the Handbook.  There was a recent request[2]
submitted to mention memory stick installations.  I've submitted a
followup to that PR with an attached patch, but after a few fixes, have
a new patch available which applies cleanly after the two aforementioned
patches.  However, a recent PR[3] suggests the floppy install section
should be removed, as floppy install images are not provided for
8.0-RELEASE and later.

What is the general consensus on the floppy install section?  It can be
easily noted that floppy images are only available for FreeBSD
7.3-RELEASE and earlier, just as much as removal of the section.  Thoughts?

Thanks, and regards.
