	Also, it might help if we mentioned, that the make world target
	is actually a split, ``buildworld'' and ``installworld''.  Last
	time I checked, I didn't see make world installing if the
	compilation stage failed... I may be wrong.
	
	It is also a bad idea to use acronyms, abbreviations, and
	command names in section and chapter titles, IMHO.

	Cheers.
