+    An easy method to build your own basic BusyBox based system, is to
+    follow these simple steps:
+    <ul>
+	<li> Point your web browser <a href="/cgi-bin/cvsweb/buildroot/">here</a>
+	<li> Click on "Download tarball"
+	<li> Unpack the tarball on your Linux system somewhere
+	<li> run 'make' and configure things to taste.
+	<li> run 'unset CC'.   Some Linux systems (i.e. Gentoo) set 'CC'
+	    in the system environment which messes up cross compiles.
+	<li> run 'make'
+	<li> go have lunch, drink a pop, call a friend, play a video game, etc
+		till it finishes downloading software and compiling things.
+	<li> You should now have a shiny new BusyBox based system.
+    </ul>
