 Not the same.  Again, what I wanted to mean is that it is not a
 typical installation/building method for users who read a chapter
 for normal installation in Handbook.  I did not mean by the word "advanced"
 it is difficult to understand or simply complex, so I showed multi-os
 and fbsd-from-scratch as examples.  They are actually useful
 configurations but not topics which Handbook has to cover in detail,
 and I think they are ones which users should read *after* Handbook.
 Mixing these two sort of topics often makes Handbook's structure
 complex.  A lot of information at one place is not always good.

 I cannot agree with this sort of ideas.  The FAQ was created
 based on a idea "all of useful Q&A in a book", but we have not
 been able to maintain it well actually, for example.
