New Revision: 39483
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/39483

Log:
  Prefer linking to the handbook instead of maintaining instructions in
  two different places. In addition the linked instructions are out of
  dated.
  
  Don't give bad advice of downloading a single port at a time. This
  rarely works and is unsupported.
