  Modified:    htdocs/manual install.html
               htdocs/manual/misc FAQ-E.html
  Log:
  	Some updates from Joshua Slive.  I lost the message describing
  	the FAQ change, but concerning install.html he says:
  
  	"It seems strange that the installation docs for apache don't
  	even mention the method that most people use to install apache.
  	(I know, it was a political issue).  This provides a reference."

  -   Internet Explorer is ignoring the mime-type you have configured for
  -   the file and guessing the file type based on the filename
  -   extension.  IE does this for any file which the web server marks as
  -   application/octet-stream or text/plain.  Netscape, on the other
  -   hand, properly follows the directions of the web server and treats
  -   the file as text/plain (displays it in the browser window as-is) or
  -   application/octet-stream (pops up a download window).
  +   Internet Explorer (IE) and Netscape handle mime type detection in different
  +   ways, and therefore will display the document differently.  In particular,
  +   IE sometimes relies on the file extension to determine the mime type.  This
  +   can happen when the server specifies a mime type of
  +   <CODE>application/octet-stream</CODE> or <CODE>text/plain</CODE>.
  +   (Unfortunately, this behavior makes it impossible to properly send plain
  +   text in some situations unless the file extension is <CODE>txt</CODE>.)

      In order to make all browsers work correctly, you should assure
      that Apache sends the correct mime type for the file.  This is
