Frankly: The FAQ should be just that. It should not try to cover
everything in 1 document! It should only cover question left unanswered by
regular documents.
We should reorganize the info that is gathered over time and make it more
readable and consistent. Perhaps some more documents should be created
covering other aspects as well.
One other documents that would be usefull is regarding kernel sources,
patches & em86.
