Suggestion:  Make RELNOTES.TXT install from [cdrom] media root to
target host [root ?], to make it easier for 4.* to 5 upgraders &
testers etc, to do a quick check on what is changed. 70K of space
used will save many people time.

It's on the web, (if one is connected when testing), & on the install
.iso (if with you & mounted), but installed would be better.

/usr/src/release/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/relnotes/common/new.sgml
- Doesnt build & install RELNOTES.TXT from a make world,
  (needs release/Makefile stuff & doc/ &/or ports/ I presume).
- Is deep buried, & took far too long to find: 
  EG When searching for rdist clues as per
        &man.rdist.1; has been retired from the base system, but
        is still available from &os; Ports Collection as net/44bsd-rdist
  there were 20+ other files in src/ also referring to rdist.

Steve K. wrote (re. rdist):     It was removed almost 2 years ago  ...
        But only current people know such things, not 4.* users,
        as rdist is still in newest release 4.7.

So it'd be good to install /RELNOTES.TXT to hard disc.
