+ Copying and distribution of this file, with or without modification,
+ are permitted in any medium without royalty provided the copyright
+ notice and this notice are preserved.
+
+For generic installation instructions on compiling and installing this
+Automake-based distribution, please read the file `INSTALL.generic'.
+
+Installation notes specific to Texinfo:
+
+* texinfo.tex and the other *.tex files are not installed by `make
+ install'. This is because there is no reliable way to know where to
+ install them. Instead, you have to run an additional make command
+ after the normal make install:
+ make TEXMF=/your/texmf install-tex
+ texinfo.tex is installed in ${TEXMF}/tex/texinfo/texinfo.tex, etc.
+
+* On the other hand, if you're maintaining a TeX distribution, you don't
+ want your users to see the installation warnings, because you already
+ have the files installed. (And you're keeping them up to date, right?)
+ In this case, run configure --disable-install-warnings, or set
+ enable_install_warnings=no in the environment.
+
+* On MacOSX, if configure fails with the error:
+ ac_cv_build='config.sub: invalid option -apple-darwin7.2.0
+this is probably because your uname -p is returning "unknown". Use
+/usr/bin/uname instead.
+
+* For instructions on compiling this distribution with DJGPP tools
+ for MS-DOS and MS-Windows, see the file djgpp/README.
+
+* The Info tree uses a file `dir' as its root node; the `dir-example'
+ file in this distribution is included as a possible starting point.
+ Use it, modify it, or ignore it just as you like.
+
+* You can create a file texinfo.cnf to be read by TeX when
+ processing Texinfo manuals. For example, you might like to use
+ @afourpaper by default. See the `Preparing for TeX' node in
+ texinfo.txi for more details. You don't have to create the file if
+ you have nothing to put in it.
+
+* If your info files are not in $prefix/info, you may wish to add a line
+#define DEFAULT_INFOPATH "/mydir1:/mydir2:..."
+ to config.h after running configure.
