 5. SETUP
 
+In case a previous Wine installation is already on your PC, don't forget
+to uninstall it before installing this Wine version (unless the previous
+Wine version is an "isolated" install which doesn't conflict with the
+new install).
+Try either "dpkg -r wine" or "rpm -e wine" or "make uninstall"
+to do so.
+
 Once Wine has been built correctly, you can do "make install"; this
 will install the wine executable, the Wine man page, and a few other
 needed files.
