-@section RTEMS FTP Site Organization
-
-RTEMS is distributed only via anonymous ftp.
-
-This section will discuss how to navigate the RTEMS
-ftp site and unarchive the files in the RTEMS and GNU package
-distributions. All example commands will be given in a shell
-independent fashion unless otherwise noted.
-
-Throughout the rest of this manual
-<RTEMS_distribution> will be used as the parent of components
-within the RTEMS distribution. For persons using the ftp
-distribution found on the primary ftp site for RTEMS,
-<RTEMS_distribution> are found under this directory
-@uref{ftp://ftp.rtems.com/pub/rtems/}. HTTP access to the
-ftp site is available via @uref{http://www.rtems.org/ftp/pub/rtems}.
-
-The archive files for RTEMS Release @value{VERSION} are found
-under the directory <RTEMS_distribution>. This directory
-contains the files which comprise this relase as well as any
-patches which may be required for other tools.
-
-The complete source code and documentation set for
-the C language implementation of RTEMS is provided.

-@section Unarchiving the RTEMS and GNU Components
-
-Many of the components of the RTEMS release are
-"tarred, zipped" files and have the .tar.gz or .tgz extension.
-The GNU zip package is required to unarchives these files on the
-RTEMS ftp site. If this package is not installed, the source
-can be found in the files
-@uref{ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.2.4.shar} or
-@uref{ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gzip/gzip-1.2.4.tar}. It may be
-restored using a command similar to the following:
-
-@example
-@group
-tar xvf gzip-1.2.4.tar
-
-OR
-
-sh gzip-1.2.4.shar
-@end group
-@end example
-
-This will create a subdirectory gzip-1.2.4 in the
-current directory. Please examine the files README and INSTALL
-and follow the instructions provided there.
-
-[Note: The GNU tools follow a standard packaging procedure
-They will unarchive into a directory based on the package name and version
-number. For detailed instructions on compilation and
-installation of the GNU tools, please refer to the instructions for
-each GNU tool.]
-
-Files which have been "tarred, zipped" (i.e. .tar.gz
-or .tgz extension) may be unarchived with a command similar to
-one of the following:
-
-@example
-@group
-gzcat <file>.tgz | tar xvof -
-
-OR
-
-gunzip -c <file>.tgz | tar xvof -
-
-OR
-
-gtar xzvf <file>.tgz
-@end group
-@end example
-
-NOTE: gunzip -c is equivalent to gzcat, while gtar is GNU tar.
-
-Given that the necessary utility programs are
-installed, any of the above commands will extract the contents
-of <file>.tar.gz into the current directory. All of the RTEMS
-components will be extracted into the subdirectory rtems-@value{VERSION}.
-To view the contents of a component without restoring any files,
-use a command similar to the following:
-
-@example
-@group
-gzcat <file>.tgz | tar tvf -
-@end group
-@end example

-@section Installing a Cross-Development GNU Toolset
-
-This sections describes how to build and install the
-FSF GNU tools for use as a cross-compilation system. These
-tools are used by the RTEMS developers. Every effort has been
-made to make these instructions accurate and complete. However,
-it is recommended that the individual doing the installation
-read the appropriate installation notes for each of the tools in
-the cross toolset. This will help insure that there are no
-special requirements for a particular host.
-
-If the host and target processors are the same, then
-it may be possible to use the host development tools. An
-example of this scenario is using a SPARC based workstation
-to develop an RTEMS application for the SPARC processor. Although
-the native toolset is useable in this scenario, it is ultimately
-more desirable to build a toolset specifically for the embedded environment.
-
-Instructions for building a cross environment using the GNU
-tools is provided in the crossgcc FAQ available from ftp.cygnus.com
-in /pub/embedded/crossgcc. It is recommended that the user following
-these instructions.
-
-After the cross development toolset has been built
-and installed, it will be necessary to modify the environment of
-each RTEMS application developer to reflect at least the path of
-the newly installed cross development toolset.
-
-The documentation for the FSF GNU and open source tools is
-formatted using TeX. The RTEMS developers use TeX to
-format the manuals for their own use. This document does not
-contain instructions on the acquisition or installation of TeX
-and supporting tools.
-
-NOTE: For "UNIX" processors, the native compiler binary utilities
-should be used.
