Hi all,

- don't forget about ldconfig
- document popular uninstall methods
- comment out mapping to home drive in default config and add
  a comment on why we don't include it

The home directory change might be problematic from a user support POV,
though, of course...

 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.

 If you want to read the documentation supplied with the Wine source,
 see the "DOCUMENTATION" section.
