* Disconnect the FAQ and handbook from the makefiles and remove the files.Peter Wemm1997-05-232-4092/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | The FAQ and handbook have been repository copied to their own top-level ("doc") directory in the cvs tree which will not be branched so as to avoid the syncing problems. At some point, the sgml text will require formatting tools that will be from ports rather than the main source tree. Requested by: jfieber, jkh Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=26062
