cce21e8660 The config dump syntax for hard-coding the dump location before
dumpon(8) can be executed has been deprecated since FreeBSD 4.x and no
longer works.  Use the loader instead.

1cb17307ec Reword the introduction to de-emphasize the primacy of USENET as a
FreeBSD community communication channel, and add a reference to web
forums.

Reword the paragraph about choosing the appropriate mailing list to
again de-emphasize USENET and encourage the user to choose the most
appropriate technical mailing list according to the charters.

Note that freebsd mailing list archives are kept in perpetuity, and
users with privacy conerns should consider using a disposable
secondary email address and only posting public information. [1]

Re-organize the "Web Resources" section into a new first section about
"Forums, Blogs, and Social Networks" with references to the FreeBSD
Forums, Planet FreeBSD, and the BSDConferences YouTube channel.

Move the long list of web mirrors to a second section appropriately
titled as such.  The former section just listed many dozen mirrors of
www.freebsd.org under "web resources" which was less useful.

6a337ea69f * Add id="" attributes to some sect3 elements that didn't have any.
* Move a few <indexterm> elements before the paragraph that mentions
  them.  I'm not sure if this has any effect on the index link
  location, but we usually write index terms before the relevant
  paragraph.

72e1e9c6c3 Document the installation of www/linux-flashplugin9 (but keep mention to
www/linux-flashplugin7).  As always do not expect everything will work;
with that plugin you could access to more "modern" sites but some
animations may not correctly rendered.
