 <title>Installation of TCL</title>
 
+<para>This package and the next two are only installed to be able to run the
+test suites for GCC and Binutils. Installing three packages just for for
+testing purposes may seem like overkill, but it is very reassuring, if not
+essential, to know that our most important tools are working properly.</para>

+<para>Prepare Tcl to be compiled:</para>

 <para><screen><userinput>cd unix
-./configure --prefix=/stage1
-make 
+./configure --prefix=/stage1</userinput></screen></para>
+
+<para>Build, test, and install the package:</para>

+<para><screen><userinput>make 
 make test
-make install
-ln -s tclsh8.4 /stage1/bin/tclsh</userinput></screen></para>
+make install</userinput></screen></para>
 
-<para>Don't remove the tcl&tcl-version; directory yet, you need it for the
-next package installation.</para>
+<para>Note that some of the tests may fail, and that this is not a problem:
+the program will work well enough to be able to run the GCC and Binutils test
+suites.</para>

+<para>Make a link:</para>

+<para>Do <emphasis>not remove</emphasis> the
+<filename>tcl&tcl-version;</filename> directory yet, as the next package will
+need its internal headers.</para>
