New Revision: 41662
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/41662
Log:
Alter the title name here, it's bad (though I doubt my
re-word is much of an improvement). Add information on
where documentation is actually installed rather than
just recommend a user read it. Add some <replaceable>
tags. More coming.
