FAQ Update

FAQ Update

[Harold L Hunt II]

I just posted an updated FAQ.  The primary focus of the updates was to 
remove old entries regarding Xinstall.sh and the perils of downloading 
our binaries from a web browser and/or extracting them with WinZip; none 
of these are issues anymore.  I also removed out-dated information about 
XF86Config support and AltGr/TweakUI compatibility.

The FAQ still needs some work.  Probably everything in the Contributing 
section can be dropped and replaced with a single redirection to the 
Contributor's Guide.  The Usage, Troubleshooting, and Error and Warning 
Messages sections should probably have all of their items thrown 
together, then resorted into more meangingful categories like: Remote 
Clients via SSH, Remote Clients via Telnet, XDMCP Problems, Non-U.S. 
Configuration and Troubleshooting, Font Problems and Troubleshooting, 
etc.  Let me know if you are interested :)

The reordering of the Configuration, Usage and Troubleshooting sections 
is a good idea. But the section Errormessages should stay. Maybe with 
some entries (eg 6.16) sorted into the other sections.

Right.

I'll be out of town until Saturday or Sunday and will probably not be 
able to work on anything until then.

Later,
