osr5 patch to specific.html

[Robert Lipe]

This might not constitute a FAQ yet, but I've fielded at least three
emails on things that were solved by TLS597.   It's in the install.texi,
but here's a patch to (hopefully) make it more obvious...

Oh.   And I changed the formatting slightly.   Converting the other
entries to use <ul> and <li> would be easy to do and would result in an
easier to read document.  I can provide a patch if you want one.

Thanx,
RJL
