KNOWN CAVEATS
+* 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 accomodate
+ these, you may create such a user; make sure it is in the local group
+ Administrators.
+
+* The popular Interix binary packages from http://www.interopsystems.com/
+ use OpenBSD's pkg_* tools and occupy the /var/db/pkg directory (though
+ the packages install to /usr/local). If you want to have both kinds of
+ packages installed in the system, supply "--pkgdbdir=DIRECTORY" to
+ "bootstrap" to use an alternative package database directory.
+
* As of this writing, the necessary Interix support stubs have not yet been
added to pkgsrc/mk.
