Modify URLs to use https instead of http. Remove ancient URLs that don't work. Change "scsi" in text to "SCSI". Change "cdrom" in text to "CD-ROM". Drop the reference to "autoclean" for modules since I can't find it in any current documentation. Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "James E.J.
