+Since the CVS tree is arranged for the convenience of the developers,
+it requires GCC and GNU Make, which together support automatic
+dependency management.  You will also need to install autoconf,
+automake, and libtool; the recommended versions are listed in README.
 
 To check out a CVS working directory:
 
 1) Install CVS version 1.9 or later on your system.
 2) Log into the CVS server:
-     $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@egcs.cygnus.com:/egcs/carton/cvsfiles login
-   Use the password `anoncvs'.
+     $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/guile login
+   At the prompt for `CVS password:', type `anoncvs'.
+   Once you have logged in, your password is saved in ~/.cvspass, and you
+   will not need to enter it again.
 3) Check out a module:
-     $ cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@egcs.cygnus.com:/egcs/carton/cvsfiles checkout guile-core
+     $ cvs -z 9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/guile checkout guile-core
    This should create a new directory `guile-core' in your current
    directory, and populate it with the current Guile sources.
+4) In the top directory of the source tree, run the command `./autogen.sh'.
+   This builds the configure script, Makefile.in, and other derived files
+   used by the build system.
 
 The modules available for checkout are:
   guile-core --- The scheme interpreter itself.
   guile-doc --- Guile documentation-in-progress.
+  guile-oops --- GOOPS Guile Object Oriented Programming System.
   guile-tcltk --- An interface between Guile and Tcl/Tk.
   guile-scsh --- An incomplete port of SCSH 0.4.4 to Guile.
   guile-rgx-ctax --- This has been discontinued; use Andrew Archibald's
