changed initail version of linuxmuster.net on index
version for docs v7.4 beta indicated, minor setup fixes for flyout menue
chapter migration from v7.3 to v7.4 updated
…ion typo, broken KernelOptions reference

- use_linbo4/index.rst: legacy kernel channel example still said 5.15, but the channel was updated to 6.1.x (see linuxmuster-linbo7 changelog)
- what-is-new.rst: LINBO 7.6 -> LINBO 7.4 to match the package version used everywhere else
- use_linbo4/index.rst: KernelOptions_ was an unresolved Sphinx hyperlink reference with no matching target
Rechtschreib-/Grammatikfehler in den seit v7.3 geänderten Kapiteln korrigiert (Tippfehler, Verbkonjugation, Adjektivendungen, ein defekter Link mit Komma statt Punkt in einer URL, PIECELEN-Variablenname und linbo-torrent-Dateiname korrigiert).
- Several install/setup chapters for the current (v7.4) install still said v7.3/lmn7.3 (leftover from before the docs were bumped to v7.4); migration/upgrade.rst correctly keeps v7.3 mentions since that chapter is specifically about upgrading FROM v7.3, left those untouched.
- basis_file_server.rst, lmn_pre_install.rst, linux-clients/index.rst: apt source line added the lmn73 (v7.3) package suite instead of lmn74 - verified lmn74 exists on deb.linuxmuster.net, this was a real functional bug for a fresh v7.4 install, not just wording.
- basis_server.rst: reworded a circular sentence (recognizing the install is done by the fact that it's done).
- lmn_pre_install.rst: eingehangen -> eingehängt (correct participle of einhängen/mounting).
- proxmox/index.rst: Snapshoting -> einen Snapshot.
…orthography

Fix spelling/grammar in v7.4 doc changes
…guide

Based on a hands-on migration test on a fresh v7.3 test environment:

- Note that step 1 is mandatory, not just hygiene: linuxmuster-release-upgrade
  only ships with linuxmuster-base7 >= 7.3.37.
- Add a reboot check after the dist-upgrade, before the release upgrade.
- Document the grub boot disk prompt and the auto-detected value the script
  shows right above it.
- Note the expected devel-release message before Ubuntu 26.04.1 ships.
- Clarify that the OPNsense >= 26.1 upgrade is a multi-step chain, and that
  console-menu major upgrades are confirmed by typing the version number.
- Replace the external-wiki-only firewall rule migration step with the
  correct in-app steps (the migration wizard lives under the top-level
  Firewall menu entry, not Firewall -> Rules), plus an anti-lockout warning.
A separate fileserver in a multi-server installation was previously not
mentioned at all. Per confirmation from the developers, no dedicated
linuxmuster-fileserver package exists for v7.4 by design: a plain Ubuntu
release-upgrade brings the fileserver to the same Samba version as the
main server.
Section a) on the main server already switches to root once via sudo -i
and runs the subsequent commands without sudo; the fileserver section
still prefixed every command with sudo despite the same convention
applying. Add the explicit root switch and drop the redundant sudo.
Removes a duplicate migration/upgrade entry and a reference to
migration/linbo-migration, which no longer exists (formerly
linbo-migration-to-4). The dangling reference produced a Sphinx
warning that fail_on_warning turns into a build failure on RTD.
Deleted lmn users are not necessarily deleted in externally connected
services (Moodle, Nextcloud, AlekSIS) - only disabled depending on
config, so accounts and data may need to be removed there manually.
Also note that direct LDAP bind means user passwords are entered on
the external service's own web UI, requiring trust in that provider,
whereas SSO via Keycloak (e.g. bundled with Edulution) keeps secrets
on local infrastructure.

Closes linuxmuster-docs#376
summed up index: migration as the only chapter for mifration and upgrade
Fixes linuxmuster-docs#1030: migration/index.rst listed the migration steps but had
no cross-reference to migration/upgrade.rst, which contains the
actual step-by-step instructions. Readers entering via the overview
page had no way to find the detailed guide.
