you must be talking about 

ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/fonts/utilities/fontinst/doc/fontinst.tex

I also found 

ftp://ctan.tug.org/tex-archive/fonts/psfonts/tools/ctan-to-tds

a shell script that Sebastian (?) wrote. This script gives the best (albeit
implicit) directions I know of so far for how to install the psfonts
information into a user's filesystem.

Yes, this is no longer in existence. The author is at your second link:

This is excellent information. Although it sheds no light on the
/fonts/psfonts/ stuff specifically, it's worthwhile for a person to
familiarize onesself with it.
