Description Marc Fonvieille 2002-06-02 10:40:03 UTC 
In section 2.13.5 of the Handbook, we can read "If you want to install
by FTP via a HTTP proxy (see below)," the '(see below)' refers to
nothing, have a look to
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-diff-media.html
for more details.
In fact it's a remain of an old section where that part was used in
descrition of all installation methods.

Fix: Apply the patch to handbook/install/chapter.sgml

The text "(see below)" refers to a note in the install-media section, which
explains various situations regarding proxy servers.

It may look a bit weird on the website, but does make sense on printed media.

Whether/How we should fix it is hereby thrown open to discussion.

I think the `(see below)' comment should be removed as the handbook is 
reviewed, read, and looked at more on the internet.  It will still be 
understanable on printed media this way and will perhaps save some confusion 
for those reading it online.
