And even after, it may lead to problems. There is not guarantee that an

A description for -E is good, but why have this in anoncvs section ?
The procedure and problems are exactly the same if you get the sources
from e.g. sup.
Also these instruction don't talk about updating the kernel, which should
always be done before installing new libraries. I think this should point
back to "Updating an existing system", and add the note about -E here.
