Hi Bernard,
Of course it would be ideal if DragonFly documentation was at the same 
level as FreeBSD but the fact is that this is not the case.  FreeBSD has 
an entire team whose primary responsibility is documentation.

Now you may be aware that DragonFly DPorts is basically FreeBSD ports 
made to work on DragonFly.  As such, instructions to install third-party 
software on FreeBSD are good for DragonFly as well.  So it's not weird 
to reference FreeBSD documentation when DPorts are involved as is the 
case here.

As a last thought, our handbook is a living wiki.  Some people have 
improved KDE instructions recently, but if you think it needs more then 
you have the ability to write these improvements so everyone can benefit.

DragonFly MAN pages are top notch, but the handbook / wiki is not at the 
same quality level (and in some cases are poor quality).

John
