-<P>In earlier versions of Spider, all the processes were Perl scripts. This
-was fine but with a lot of users your computer memory would soon be used up.
-To combat this a new client was written in "C". This client only works for
-<EM>incoming</EM> connects at the moment. Before you can use it though it
-has to be "made". CD to /spider/src and type <EM>make</EM>. You
-should see the output on your screen and hopefully now have a small C program
-called <EM>client</EM>. Leave it in this directory.
+<P>This section is designed for experienced Spider sysops who want to install
+Spider from scratch. It is simply a check list of things that need to be
+done without any explanations. The name in brackets at the end of each line
+is the user that should be doing that process.
