-Interix is a POSIX compatible subsystem for the Windows NT kernel,
-providing a Unix-like environment with a tighter kernel integration than
-available with Cygwin.  It is part of the Windows Services for Unix
-package, available for free for any licensed copy of Windows 2000, XP,
-or 2003.  SFU can be downloaded from:
+Please read the general README file, and the Interix installation
+instructions in the pkgsrc Guide at:
 
-    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/

-Services for Unix 3.5, current as of this writing, has been tested.  3.0
-or 3.1 may work, but are not officially supported.  (The main difference
-in 3.0/3.1 is lack of pthreads.)

 A prebuilt bootstrap kit and prebuilt binary packages for Interix 3.5 are
 available from the pkgsrc information page:
 
     http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html
-
-=====
-
-At an absolute minimum, the following packages must be installed from
-the Windows Services for Unix 3.5 distribution in order to use pkgsrc:
-
-    Utilities -> Base Utilities
-    Interix GNU Components -> (all)
-    Remote Connectivity
-    Interix SDK
-
-When using pkgsrc on Interix, DO NOT install the Utilities subcomponent 
-"UNIX Perl".  That is Perl 5.6 without shared module support, installed to 
-/usr/local, and will only cause confusion. Instead, install Perl 5.8 from 
-pkgsrc (or from a binary package available at the URL above).
-
-The Remote Connectivity subcomponent "Windows Remote Shell Service" does
-not need to be installed, but Remote Connectivity itself should be
-installed in order to have a working inetd.
-
-Finally, during installation you may be asked whether to enable setuid 
-behavior for Interix programs, and whether to make pathnames default to 
-case-sensitive.  Setuid should be enabled, and case-sensitivity MUST be 
-enabled.  (Without case-sensitivity, a large number of packages including 
-perl will not build.)
-
-=====
-
-If SFU is already installed and you wish to alter these settings to work 
-with pkgsrc:
-
-* To uninstall UNIX Perl, use Add/Remove Programs, select Microsoft 
-  Windows Services for UNIX, then click Change.  In the installer, choose 
-  Add or Remove, then uncheck Utilities->UNIX Perl.
-
-* To enable case-sensitivity for the filesystem, run REGEDIT.EXE, and 
-  change the following registry key:
-
-  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\kernel
-
-  Set the DWORD value "obcaseinsensitive" to 0; then reboot.
-
-* To enable setuid binaries (optional), run REGEDIT.EXE, and change the 
-  following registry key:
-
-  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Services for UNIX
-
-  Set the DWORD value "EnableSetuidBinaries" to 1; then reboot.
-
-=====
-
-IMPORTANT NOTES
-
-* The package imanager (either the pkgsrc "su" user, or the user
-  running "pkg_add") must be a member of the local Administrators
-  group.  Such a user must also be used to run the bootstrap.  This is
-  slightly relaxed from the normal pkgsrc requirement of "root".
-
-* The package manager should use a umask of 002.  "make install" will
-  automatically complain if this is not the case.  This ensures that
-  directories written in /var/db/pkg are Administrators-group writeable. 
-
-* The popular Interix binary packages from http://www.interopsystems.com/
-  use an older version of pkgsrc's pkg_* tools.  Ideally, these should
-  NOT be used in conjunction with pkgsrc.  If you choose to use them at
-  the same time as the pkgsrc packages, ensure that you use the proper
-  pkg_* tools for each type of binary package.
-
-=====
-
-KNOWN ISSUES
-
-* It is not necessary, in general, to have a "root" user on the Windows
-  system; any member of the local Administrators group will suffice. 
-  However, some packages currently assume that the user named "root" is
-  the privileged user (these will eventually be fixed).  To accommodate
-  these, you may create such a user; make sure it is in the local group
-  Administrators.
-
-* "pkg_add" creates directories of mode 0755, not 0775, in $PKG_DBDIR.
-  This will be fixed.
-
-  For the time being, install packages as Administrator, or use a
-  "chmod -R g+w $PKG_DBDIR" after installing a package to work around it.
