First pass at cleaning up section 14.1.
- more consistent markup
- try to be a bit less verbose and repetitive
- avoid advertising features from 4.8 as new
- avoid introducing terms that aren't used later on
Cam be trimmed much more, but leave it at that for now.

This page is a MONSTER.  Direly needs a strict diet.

Try to tame it the usual way:
- zap trailing white space
- line break at end of sentences
- try to obtain something approximating a uniform look
- normalize manual links
- chop up endless sentences into digestible pieces
- fix broken links
- remove stale comments

TJ's work on the FAQ continues, this time a big diff with lots of small
fixes:

- only specify the current supported "set debug" choices in the options
  section of the pf faq
- clarify ipv4 vs ipv6 configs in the nat section of the pf faq
- mention that usb disk images are available in addition to the cd isos
- don't say that all donors get their name on the donations page anymore
- replace the last few instances of "ftp mirrors" with "http mirrors" or
  just "mirrors" where appropriate
- reword some 5.8 mentions to reduce the amount of version bumps we have
  to do each release
- few minor tweaks

Thanks!

the listed external box makers are high-end SAN-like device providers
now, I can't tell what Accusys is currently selling through their
perpetually sucky and now Flash driven website, and buying Arco products
seems to be difficult.  This section doesn't help people, remove.

Note: there is duplicated info, which is not JCR's fault, he's got it
cleaned up on diffs, but I want to make some further improvements to
some of what he has before I commit that.  Just want to get this part in

krw@ pointed out that the FAQ was still endorsing and even suggesting
RAIDframe, and that is clearly not the long-term direction we are going.
His diff didn't go far enough in my opinion... Let's outright say that
we don't recommend RAIDframe or ccd for new installations.
Also...I don't really consider simple RAID installs a performance boost
unless RAID0, and we really shouldn't be recommending that, so remove
RAID references from 14.8

Pick a charset, any charset.  However, bouncing back and forth between
them is probably not a good idea.  Picked "ISO-8859-1" rather than
"us-ascii".  Issue brought to my attention by David Krause, which
prompted me to go looking for more.

re-organization of the faq, based greatly on the recent changes to the main web page. This way will hopefully allow for greater expansion and readability. Some of the numbers have changed. sorry.

move disk information away from faq4 to a new faq15. This will leave room for an expanded installation section. faq14 added also although no information is in there to fill it. Soon it will be the IPsec FAQ
