New Revision: 39025
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/doc/39025

Log:
  The description about installing the system sources are no longer
  accurate in newer FreeBSD versions, since sysinstall is not there
  anymore. Therefore, provide a more general way that fits both
  cases by refering to the section in the handbook about synching
  the system sources.
