This page is obsolete and is replaced by the one...

Yes, you are right! Now there is a link on every page.

This is what I suspected.

The new website has the same information. However it is now longer
specific to the FSL installation procedure and moreover a lot simpler.
The page you are referring to was always a bit outdated -- the new one
is auto-generated and always reflects what really is available.
However, the system isn't perfect yet. Therefore I'm glad to receive
feedback like yours.
Thanks,
Michael
