 COMPATIBILITY
 
     This code is intended for use with Linux 2.0.xx and above.
     Both libc 5 and libc 6 should work.
 
-PS/TOP WCHAN FIELD
+INSTALLATION
 
-    In past releases, in order to get WCHAN output for ps, you had to
-    have a psdatabase for each zImage kernel that you generated from
-    the vmlinux unstripped binary with /sbin/psupdate.  With this release,
-    you should use the System.map automatically generated by Linus' makefile.
-    'ps' and 'top' will first use the contents of an environment variable
-    "PS_SYSTEM_MAP" and then look for System.map files along
-    the followin search path:
-        /boot/System.map-V, /boot/System.map, /lib/modules/V/System.map,
-    Here 'V' is the output of "uname -r" and looks like "2.2.0".
-    Don't forget the dash! In those same locations, remove psdatabase* files.
+    You may follow the instructions in the INSTALL file.
+    In case the fancy stuff gives you trouble, you may
+    use the traditional method: make -f Makefile.noam
+    If you wish to test before installing, use the scripts
+    named t, v, and ps/p to ensure the correct libproc
+    is used during your testing.
 
+BUG REPORTS
 
+    Debian users should use the Debian bug tracking system.
+    Email to albert@users.sf.net or csmall@debian.org will
+    also work.
