From mirrors/chapter.sgml in the Handbook:

------ Begin quoted text

       <para>The <filename>refuse</filename> file has a very simple format; it simply
       contains the names of files or directories that you do not wish
       to download.  For example, if you cannot speak any languages other
       than English and some German, and you do not feel the need to use
       the German applications (or applications for any other
       languages, except for English), you can put the following in your
       <filename>refuse</filename> file:</para>

       <screen>ports/chinese
ports/french
ports/german
ports/hebrew
ports/japanese
ports/hungarian
ports/korean
ports/portuguese
ports/russian
ports/ukrainian
ports/vietnamese
doc/de_DE.ISO8859-1
doc/el_GR.ISO8859-7
doc/es_ES.ISO8859-1
doc/fr_FR.ISO8859-1
doc/it_IT.ISO8859-15
doc/ja_JP.eucJP
doc/nl_NL.ISO8859-1
doc/pt_BR.ISO8859-1
doc/ru_RU.KOI8-R
doc/sr_YU.ISO8859-2
doc/zh_TW.Big5</screen>

       <para>and so forth for the other languages (you can find the
       full list by browsing the <ulink
       URL="ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/">FreeBSD
       FTP server</ulink>).  Note that the name
       of the repository is the first <quote>directory</quote> in the
       <filename>refuse</filename> file.</para>

----- End quoted text

Does anybody understand that last sentence, or should I just kill it?
