Er, the howtos are plain ASCII, not HTML...

And for some reason you are defaulting to a text size that is way
smaller than my default.  Don't you trust me to pick my own font size?

DJGPP's mini-faq has nothing to do with the versions of software
installed on your Linux machine.

You shouldn't refer to one particular djgpp mirror.  Go through
www.simtel.net and hunt down the file; point to the URL for the last
page before you pick a mirror site.  Or (probably best) just say
"v2/djcrx203.zip from your local djgpp ftp site".

The environment variable setting instructions are specific to bash.
They won't work in sh or csh (just a note would be fine).

The canonical djgpp target name is i586-pc-msdosdjgpp, not i686.  It's
probably not a problem any more, but at one point it was.  We use i586
in our docs, probably should continue that to be consistent.

The symbolic links should probably be relative, not absolute, like
	ln -s libstdc++.a $prefix/$target/lib/libstdcxx.a

The /usr/bin/djgcc files should probably go by default in
/usr/local/bin

You don't need to restub your binary to get it to run under DOS.  Just
put cwsdpmi.exe somewhere in your PATH.  The rest is automatic.

Otherwise, it looks good.
