-This directory contains TeX-related programs that use the kpathsea
-library for configuration and path searching (and the library itself).
-
-For the simplest possible installation, see the beginning of
-kpathsea/INSTALL.
-
-If you want to override the defaults, read both <program>/INSTALL (e.g.,
-web2c/INSTALL) and kpathsea/INSTALL.
-
-Other files are not necessary reading for basic installation, but may
-prove helpful:
-- etc/unixtex.ftp describes how to obtain a TeX system by ftp or on
- physical media, and some alternative TeX distributions.
-- README in each subdirectory briefly summarizes that directory.
-- NEWS in each subdirectory has noteworthy changes by release.
-- kpathsea/BUGS has bug reporting information.
-- kpathsea/CONFIGURE has generic instructions on running configure scripts.
-
-Please send bug reports and suggestions for either the programs or the
-documentation, no matter how small, to tex-k@mail.tug.org. But please
-read kpathsea/BUGS first. (That file also tells you how to join the
-mailing list yourself, and how to receive announcements only.)
-
-For general documentation on the coding and usage standards this
-distribution follows, see the GNU standards document
-http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards, especially the `Makefile
-Conventions', `Configuration', and `User Interfaces' sections.
-
-The files in the etc/ directory are present for informational purposes.
-They are not used or installed by the programs. For example, a copy of
-texinfo.tex is there in case you want to produce DVI files from the
-Texinfo manuals.
-
-If you know enough about TeX to be reading this, then you (or your
-institution) should consider joining the TeX Users Group
-(http://tug.org)) -- if you're already a member, thanks for your
-support! TUG produces the periodicals TUGboat (http://tug.org/TUGboat),
-The PracTeX Journal (http://tug.org/pracjourn), sponsors an annual
-meeting and publishes the proceedings, and more.
-
-This is free software. See the files COPYING* for copying permissions.

+This TeX Live directory contains the programs that use the kpathsea
+library for configuration and path searching, and the library itself.
+
+Some programs can be built on their own, but others, including kpathsea
+itself, cannot. Instead, try configure --enable-tetex-build in .., or
+using the Build script there. In general, for TeX Live we only test
+configuring the whole tree.
