System Requirements
------------------
This build was made on a stock YDL 3.0 distribution with gcc 3.2.2
and glibc-2.3.1-51a  It will therefore require a late glibc 2.3.1 or
glibc-2.3.2 based distribution (such as YDL 3.0, YDL 3.1, YDL 4, or
Debian with glibc-2.3.2 or latest Mandrakesoft system) to work 
properly.

Users of YDL 2.X and older distributions should upgrade to
glibc-2.3.2 in order to install and use this binary.

You will also need over 300 meg of free disk space for the installer 
and installation.
