You left out: "NOTE: If CELLNAME_DEFAULT has a '.' in cell name,
then the name is assumed to be a valid cell name and when the user
installs AFS the AFS Control Center will default to NOT installed!"
I didn't leave this out. It isn't in the README-NT file in the
trunk. I merely streamlined and simplified the build instructions on
the trunk.
Why are you making reference to building with Windows 2000. I have
built installable versions on every version of Windows OS except
Win95 or NT3.5.
I'm confused where you're talking about. I don't think I ever removed
any indication that it builds on previous versions of Windows. I don't
think it serves any point to talk about versions of Windows before
Windows 2000; it just raises our support burden.
I have verified that if I open a "Windows XP 32-bit Build Environment"
from the latest SDK, I can _not_ build OpenAFS.
Leave in the stuff about installer (IS5ROOT). Until we have
permission from Microsoft about their installer we best stay with
what we have.
I didn't touch any of the text about the installer. Since I don't have
it, I can't test any of it.
