I suggest to start using the index-search command (press `i' and
follow the prompts) in the Info browser, it is very efficient in
finding things in the FAQ (and any other Info manual) without you
having to read the whole document.

The file README.1ST explains, in section "Reading the Documentation",
how to use the index-search command efficiently.  I suggest to read
it.
