 SETUP
@@ -64,9 +75,23 @@ To install rsync, first run the "configure" script. This will create a
 Makefile and config.h appropriate for your system. Then type
 "make". 
 
+Note that on some systems you will have to force configure not to use
+gcc because gcc may not support some features (such as 64 bit file
+offsets) that your system may support. Set the environment variable CC
+to the name of your native compiler before running configure in this
+case. 
+
 Once built put a copy of rsync in your search path on the local and
 remote systems (or use "make install"). That's it!
 
+RSYNC SERVERS
+-------------
+
+rsync can also talk to "rsync servers" which can provide anonymous or
+authenticated rsync. See the rsync.conf(5) man page for details on how
+to setup a rsync server. See the rsync(1) man page for info on how to
+connect to a rsync server.

+BUG REPORTS
+-----------
+
+If you have web access then please look at
+http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/ 
+
+This will give you access to the bug tracking system used by the
+developers of rsync and will allow you to look at other bug reports or

+
+CVS TREE
+--------
+
+If you want to get the very latest version of rsync direct from the
+source code repository then you can use anonymous cvs. You will need a
+recent version of cvs then use the following commands:
+
+	cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.anu.edu.au:/cvsroot login
+	Password: cvs
+
+	cvs -d :pserver:cvs@samba.anu.edu.au:/cvsroot co rsync
