New Revision: 46404
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/46404
Log:
FAQ: multiple changes
- remove leading "So"
- simplify explanation of packages and pkg(7)
- the old package tools are dead, don't ask about converting back
- remove question about killing processes by name. This is not an FAQ and the
FAQ is not an intro to Unix guide.
