Please don't.  Relative links let me install a local copy and look
around it in the sure knowledge that I'm still on my local site, and it
also allows people to install mirrors in a subdirectory of their main
server or even their home directory.

The one that phantom changed above specifically referred to the "FreeBSD
web site" so is OK, but the others should stay.
