+<para>The following packages are included in the native Win32
+release of GNUPro:</para>
+
+<para>GNUPro development tools: binutils, bison, byacc, dejagnu,
+diff, expect, flex, gas, gcc, gdb, itcl, ld, libstdc++, make, patch,
+tcl, tix, tk</para>
+
+<para>GNUPro unsupported tools: ash, bash, bzip2, diff, fileutils,
+findutils, gawk, grep, gzip, m4, sed, shellutils, tar, textutils,
+time</para>
+
+<sect1><title>Installing the binary release</title>
+
+<para>Load the GNUPro CD-ROM and run the installer. It will
+take you through the installation process, starting with asking for
+your install location. Once the installation is complete, there will
+be a new Program Files folder that you can use to obtain a shell
+from which you can run the tools.</para>
+
+<para>There are two remaining thing you should do from this
+prompt. First, you need to type <command>mkdir -p /tmp</command> to
+ensure that a temp directory exists for programs that expect to find
+one there.</para>
+
+<para>Second, depending on how you intend to use the tools, various
+programs may need to be able to find `/bin/sh'. You should `mkdir -p
+/bin' and put a copy of `sh.exe' there, removing the older version, if
+present. Note that you can use the `mount' utility to select which
+drive letter is mounted as `/'.</para>
+
+<para>If you should ever want to uninstall the tools, you may do so
+via the "Add/Remove Programs" control panel.</para>
