svn commit: r40321 - head/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq

[Eitan Adler]

Author: eadler
Date: Mon Dec 10 15:30:56 2012
New Revision: 40321
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/40321

Log:
  SLIP was removed in 8.x.  Given that 7.x will only be supported for
  another 2 months it doesn't make much sense to keep this information in
  the FAQ.
