Obsolete hints

Hello,

the following hints are obsolete and should be moved to the "old" directory.

alfs_paco.txt: this is about using paco with the long-abandoned "nALFS" 
program.

apt.txt: provides wrong ./configure flags for dpkg, doesn't account for 
dpkg self-dependency (result: architecture misdetection), doesn't 
install debhelper (for building your own Debian packages) and sysv-rc 
(for update-rc.d), and turns your LFS system into Debian upon 
installation of the first package if you fix all of this. IMHO, it 
should be edited to mention this, or, better, removed completely.

kernel-2.4.txt: linuxthreads have been removed from the latest glibc 
package.

lfscd-remastering-howto.txt: please rename to 
lfscd-remastering-howto-6.2.txt and take an updated version from 
http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/livecd/browser/trunk/doc/lfscd-remastering-howto.txt?format=raw

man-i18n.txt: please add the following paragraph to the end of description:

This hint describes outdated programs and no longer applies for LFS. 
LFS-6.1 uses Man-DB, exactly because (as this hint shows) Man is too 
difficult to configure correctly. However, it may still be useful for 
people who want to understand why LFS switched to Man-DB, or for CLFS users.

Here is one more - seems to be already merged to CLFS. lfs-from-osx.txt

I meant LFS-6.2, not 6.1. Sorry. And maybe it makes sense to replace 
"CLFS" with "CLFS, HLFS and DIY Linux".

-1. I vote for removal (because inclusion of the official Debian mirror
in /etc/apt/sources.list on LFS is an unforgivable mistake - see below)
and replacement with a hint about debian binary packages in general
(i.e., "ar x file.deb && tar -C / -xf data.tar.gz" as a way to install
them). I understand that this is way beyond my authority, but I insist
that the new hint, if any, is subject to my review before inclusion.

The current hint is too dangerous, because of the "libc6 is a dependency
of every package" issue that means that glibc from Debian will be
installed the first time you run apt-get. IOW, I don't want to see apt
in the hint unless instructions how to build deb packages and recreate
the Debian infrastructure are also in the hint.

wpa-service-0.24.1

i've updated wpa-service from 0.24 to 0.24.1, it's just some trivial
fix, the installer works fine and the service works now out of the box,
just install drivers and wpa-supplicant and then type ./install
"eth0/ath0"

the primary url is now:
