Description mark 2000-05-24 07:50:01 UTC 
	The link to the Porters Handbook in the Ports section of the
	handbook has an incomplete URL. It only points to the directory,
	not index.html

Going to http://www.FreeBSD.org/porters-handbook/ works fine for me --
were you having problems getting the index.html file to load (i.e.,
getting just a directory listing)?  If there wasn't any problem, I'm
going to close this PR -- the index.html tacked onto the end isn't
really needed.

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

This was happening because the submitter was browsing the directory tree 
using Netscape's ``open file'' option, which doesn't open index.html 
automagically if not specified.
