 These are installation instructions for Bash.
 
+The simplest way to compile Bash is:
+
+  1. `cd' to the directory containing the source code and type
+     `./configure' to configure Bash for your system.  If you're using
+     `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh
+     ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
+     `configure' itself.
+
+     Running `configure' takes some time.  While running, it prints
+     messages telling which features it is checking for.
+
+  2. Type `make' to compile Bash and build the `bashbug' bug reporting
+     script.
+
+  3. Optionally, type `make tests' to run the Bash test suite.
+
+  4. Type `make install' to install `bash' and `bashbug'.  This will
+     also install the manual pages and Info file.

 The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
 various system-dependent variables used during compilation.  It uses
 those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package
-(the top directory, the `builtins' and `doc' directories, and the each
-directory under `lib').  It also creates a `config.h' file containing
-system-dependent definitions.  Finally, it creates a shell script named
-`config.status' that you can run in the future to recreate the current
-configuration, a file `config.cache' that saves the results of its
-tests to speed up reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing
-compiler output (useful mainly for debugging `configure').  If at some
-point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you may
-remove or edit it.
