Well, you can also just download
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.ORG/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/doc/handbook.tar.

That means, though, that anytime you want to update your copy of
the handbook, you'll have to re-download the whole thing.

Personally, I keep a "checked-out" copy of the handbook
up-to-date so I can change it easily...  I think you can use
anon-cvs to do the same...  There's some info in the handbook,
but I think all you'd need to do would be

cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.freebsd.org:/cvs co handbook

and then to update it,

cd handbook
cvs update

You'll need the various SGML and LinuxDoc ports installed for
this, too.  I can't remember which ones, though...  They're
documented in DESCR, though, so if you search with
http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/ports for "LinuxDoc", you should probably
find them.

Depends on whether or not someone has something better to put in
its place.  ;-)
