+Tools Required
+==============
+The following tools are used in the production of this documentation:
+
+TeX
+texinfo 4.0
+texi2www-960103 (included in tree)
+
+This was used by the authors to generate the directory tree figure
+in the texinfo printed version:
+
+tree (from the CTAN Archives -- see http://jasper.ora.com/ctan.html)
+
+Changing the Version Number and Timestamp
+=========================================
+
+RTEMS Version number is in configure.in. Edit that file and run bootstrap.
+
+Documentation date is in common/setup.texi.in and also must be modified
+by hand. bootstrap does not have to be run after modifying this file.
+
+Making the Documentation
+========================
+
+cd rtems-XXX/doc
+../bootstrap
+./configure --enable-maintainer-mode
+cd tools ; make
+cd ..
+make info
+make all
+make install
+
+Cleaning
+========
+
+make clean
+make distclean
+make maintainer-clean
+
+Making a Source Distribution
+============================
+This generates a rtems-<version>.tar.gz in the toplevel directory.
+
+Making a Preformatted Distribution
+==================================
+Install and tar it up. :)
+
+Common Problems
+===============
+
+TeX pool_size too small.
