                    BUILDING THE DHCP DISTRIBUTION
 
-To build the DHCP Distribution, type ``configure''.  If configure can
-figure out what sort of system you're running on, it will create a
-custom Makefile for you for that system; otherwise, it will complain.
-If it can't figure out what system you are using, that system is not
-supported - you are on your own.
-
-Once you've run configure, just type ``make'', and after a while you
-should have a dhcp server.  If you get compile errors on one of the
-supported systems mentioned earlier, please let us know.  If you get
-errors on a system not mentioned above, you will need to do some
-programming or debugging on your own to get the DHCP Distribution working.
+To build the DHCP Distribution, unpack the compressed tar file using
+the tar utility and the gzip command - type something like:
+
+       zcat dhcp-2.0b1pl6.tar.gz |tar xvf -
+
+Now, cd to the dhcp-2.0b1pl6 subdirectory that you've just created and
+configure the source tree by typing:
+
+               ./configure
+
+If the configure utility can figure out what sort of system you're
+running on, it will create a custom Makefile for you for that
+system; otherwise, it will complain.  If it can't figure out what
+system you are using, that system is not supported - you are on
+your own.
+
+Once you've run configure, just type ``make'', and after a while
+you should have a dhcp server.  If you get compile errors on one
+of the supported systems mentioned earlier, please let us know.
+If you get warnings, it's not likely to be a problem - the DHCP
+server compiles completely warning-free on as many architectures
+as we can manage, but there are a few for which this is difficult.
+If you get errors on a system not mentioned above, you will need
+to do some programming or debugging on your own to get the DHCP
+Distribution working.
 
 Once you have successfully gotten the DHCP Distribution to build, you
 can install it by typing ``make install''.   If you already have an old
