df3f30b9ef Add a bit of back-fill to make the procedures for e.g. GNATS-only 
committers more explicit.  This section needs a bit more work.

Switch 'Prepare the Memory Stick' to a more generic title.  Move the dd
based FreeBSD-specific instructions to a separate <procedure> and add a
second procedure, that is more useful to Windows users.  The
instructions for Windows refer to the 'Image Writer' utility, including
its download location.

fca4099a95 Add a new article: 
"Build Your Own FreeBSD update Server"

and attach it to the build.

A freebsd-update server allows a system administrator to update a number
of servers from a local mirror of the Project's update servers.
It also allows creation and fast distribution of local patches.
For additional information, contact Jason Helfman, the article's author.

bb1a42e514 s/-vv/-v -v/ 
Apparently, some browsers render the "vv" to look more like a "w".
To provide visual clarity, use "-v -v" instead.

Undo Revision 1.74 for the moment.  Seems some of the entities
