"DragonFly_Stable" on the web document
Hello,
In recent days, "DragonFly_Stable" often seen at mailing list and news group.
And so I think that explanation of the words should be on the www documents.
For example:
--- site/data/main/FAQ.cgi.orig 2004-09-28 23:07:54.000000000 +0900
+++ site/data/main/FAQ.cgi 2004-09-29 21:07:30.000000000 +0900

<p>For DragonFly news and events, keep an eye on Matthew Dillon's <a href="/status/diary.cgi">diary</a>,
the <a href="DragonFly" rel="nofollow">http://www.shiningsilence.com/dbsdlog/">DragonFly BSD Log</a>, and the DragonFly <a href="/main/forums.cgi">mailing lists/newsgroups</a>.</p>
+<p>Is there a branch oriented the stability, like the FreeBSD's -STABLE?<br/>
+We have no branch and we don't have a plan to branch in the near future.</p>
+
+<p>That means using CURRENT is the only way if I want to use the new features. Is that right?<br/>
+Yes, that's basically right. But "DragonFly_Stable" tag is available for users needs better stability than HEAD. It's just be a float tag indicating a 'reasonably stable point' i.e. where the buildworld / buildrelease / buildkernel sequence is likely to work and not produce something that is unusable or too buggy. Keep in mind that "DragonFly_Stable" is a just another tag, so it's not like *BSD's -STABLE. You can use <a href="dragonfly-stable-supfile">this cvsup config file</a> obtaining source tagged "DragonFly_Stable" via cvsup.</p>

<p><b>I get garbage on the screen when I boot</b> <i>or</i> <b>I can't seem to pause at the initial boot menu.</b><br/>
DragonFly, when booting, outputs to both video and serial ports. If the booting computer has a 'noisy' serial device connected, it may read data from it during the boot process. Serial console activation during boot can be disabled by creating the file /boot.config with the contents: '-V'</p>
# Of course my poor english and my way of quotation of Matt's mail should be fixed.
Regards.
