 it will be good to integrate the keys features of your explanation in 
 the handbook:
 
 - it isn't recommended to override PACKAGESITE because packages are 
 specifically made for a branch.
 - pkg_add and pkg_delete are obsolete, use the portupgrade tool. it is 
 recommended to install it before you try to manage package. portupgrade 
 use the port tree, so you must have the port tree installed.
     examples:
     - install the xfce package: portinstall -RPP xfce
     - upgrade your xfce with the ports: portupgrade -R xfce
     - uninstalll your xfce: pkg_deinstall -r xfce
 
 (and if the user can access to internet, it seems recommended to not 
 install the port tree from the distribution media, but directly from 
 internet after the FreeBSD installation (with csup), no?)
