Bruce A. Mah 92e476c99f Remove the installation notes, which have not truly been maintained
for quite some time.  All relevant content has been moved to the
installation chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook, which will be the
single source of FreeBSD installation instructions.

In addition to removing redundancy, this change also removes the last
of the machine-dependent documents in the release documentation
set (the release notes and hardware notes were unified to produce
machine-independent documents).

Gregory Neil Shapiro 2bc2025c44 Add a new rc.conf variable, sendmail_rebuild_aliases, which tells
/etc/rc.d/sendmail whether or not to run newaliases if the database
is missing or the aliases text file is newer than aliases.db.

In my opinion, the aliases file should never be automatically rebuilt.
The current text form could represent a work in progress.  Therefore,
in FreeBSD 7.0, this new option will default to "NO".  When this rc.d
change is MFC'ed, it will need to remain "YES" to maintain backward
compatibility.

Bruce A. Mah 083c792063 Add a few sentences about updating. Some older text on this subject
went away around the time of 5.0, when doing binary upgrades from

huge differences between these two major versions.

It's much less risky now, and it's also high time that we mentioned
