-      <para>Interix is a POSIX-compatible subsystem for the Windows NT kernel,
-      providing a Unix-like environment with a tighter kernel integration than
-      available with Cygwin.  It is part of the Windows Services for Unix
-      package, available for free for any licensed copy of Windows 2000, XP
-      (not including XP Home), or 2003.  SFU can be downloaded from <ulink
-      url="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/">http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/</ulink>.</para>
-
-      <para>Services for Unix 3.5 has been tested.  3.0 or 3.1 may work, but
-      are not officially supported.  (The main difference in 3.0/3.1 is lack
-      of pthreads, but other parts of libc may also be lacking.)</para>
-
-      <para>Services for Unix Applications (aka SUA) is an integrated
-      component of Windows Server 2003 R2 (5.2), Windows Vista and
-      Windows Server 2008 (6.0), Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
-      (6.1).  As of this writing, the SUA's Interix 6.0 (32bit) and
-      6.1 (64bit) subsystems have been tested.  Other versions may
-      work as well. The Interix 5.x subsystem has not yet been tested
-      with pkgsrc.</para>

-	<title>When installing Interix/SFU</title>
-
-	<para>At an absolute minimum, the following packages must be installed from
-	the Windows Services for Unix 3.5 distribution in order to use pkgsrc:</para>
-
-	<itemizedlist>
-	  <listitem><para>Utilities -&gt; Base Utilities</para></listitem>

-	  <listitem><para>Interix SDK</para></listitem>
-	</itemizedlist>
-
-	<para>When using pkgsrc on Interix, DO NOT install the Utilities subcomponent
-	"UNIX Perl".  That is Perl 5.6 without shared module support, installed to
-	/usr/local, and will only cause confusion. Instead, install Perl 5.8 from
-	pkgsrc (or from a binary package).</para>
-
-	<para>The Remote Connectivity subcomponent "Windows Remote Shell Service" does
-	not need to be installed, but Remote Connectivity itself should be
-	installed in order to have a working inetd.</para>
-
-	<para>During installation you may be asked whether to enable setuid
-	behavior for Interix programs, and whether to make pathnames default to
-	case-sensitive.  Setuid should be enabled, and case-sensitivity MUST be
-	enabled.  (Without case-sensitivity, a large number of packages including
-	perl will not build.)</para>
-
-	<para>NOTE:  Newer Windows service packs change the way binary execution
-	works (via the Data Execution Prevention feature).  In order to use
-	pkgsrc and other gcc-compiled binaries reliably, a hotfix containing
-	POSIX.EXE, PSXDLL.DLL, PSXRUN.EXE, and PSXSS.EXE (899522 or newer)
-	must be installed.  Hotfixes are available from Microsoft through a
-	support contract; however, Debian Interix Port has made most Interix
-	hotfixes available for personal use from <ulink
-	url="http://www.debian-interix.net/hotfixes/">http://www.debian-interix.net/hotfixes/</ulink>.</para>
-
-	<para>In addition to the hotfix noted above, it may be necessary to
-	disable Data Execution Prevention entirely to make Interix functional.
-	This may happen only with certain types of CPUs; the cause is not fully
-	understood at this time.  If gcc or other applications still segfault
-	repeatedly after installing one of the hotfixes note above, the
-	following option can be added to the appropriate "boot.ini" line on the
-	Windows boot drive:  /NoExecute=AlwaysOff
-	(WARNING, this will disable DEP completely, which may be a security
-	risk if applications are often run as a user in the Administrators
-	group!)</para>

-	<title>Important notes for using pkgsrc</title>
-
-	<para>The package manager (either the pkgsrc "su" user, or the user
-	running "pkg_add") must be a member of the local Administrators
-	group.  Such a user must also be used to run the bootstrap.  This is
-	slightly relaxed from the normal pkgsrc requirement of "root".</para>
-
-	<para>The package manager should use a umask of 002.  "make install" will
-	automatically complain if this is not the case.  This ensures that
-	directories written in /var/db/pkg are Administrators-group writeable.</para>
-
-	<para>The popular Interix binary packages from http://www.interopsystems.com/
-	use an older version of pkgsrc's pkg_* tools.  Ideally, these should
-	NOT be used in conjunction with pkgsrc.  If you choose to use them at
-	the same time as the pkgsrc packages, ensure that you use the proper
-	pkg_* tools for each type of binary package.</para>
-
-	<para>The TERM setting used for DOS-type console windows (including those
-	invoked by the csh and ksh startup shortcuts) is "interix".  Most systems
-	don't have a termcap/terminfo entry for it, but the following .termcap

-	for a full Unix-like platform, it has some drawbacks that should
-	be noted for those desiring to make the most of Interix.</para>

-	  <listitem><para><emphasis role="strong">X11:</emphasis></para>

-	  and can run X11 based applications, but it does
-	  <emphasis>not</emphasis> come with an X server.  Some options are

-	  </listitem>
-
-	  <listitem><para><emphasis role="strong">X11 acceleration:</emphasis></para>
-	  <para>Because Interix runs in a completely different NT subsystem from
-	  Win32 applications, it does not currently support various X11
-	  protocol extensions for acceleration (such as MIT-SHM or DGA).
-	  Most interactive applications to a local X server will run
-	  reasonably fast, but full motion video and other graphics
-	  intensive applications may require a faster-than-expected CPU.</para></listitem>
-
-	  <listitem><para><emphasis role="strong">Audio:</emphasis></para>
-	  <para>Interix has no native support for audio output.  For audio
-	  support, pkgsrc uses the <command>esound</command> client/server
-	  audio system on Interix.  Unlike on most platforms, the
-	  <filename role="pkg">audio/esound</filename> package does
-	  <emphasis>not</emphasis> contain the <command>esd</command>
-	  server component.  To output audio via an Interix host, the
-	  <filename role="pkg">emulators/cygwin_esound</filename> package
-	  must also be installed.</para></listitem>
-
-	  <listitem><para><emphasis role="strong">CD/DVDs, USB, and SCSI:</emphasis></para>
-	  <para>Direct device access is not currently supported in Interix, so it
-	  is not currently possible to access CD/DVD drives, USB devices,
-	  or SCSI devices through non-filesystem means.  Among other things,
-	  this makes it impossible to use Interix directly for CD/DVD
-	  burning.</para></listitem>
-
-	  <listitem><para><emphasis role="strong">Tape drives:</emphasis></para>
-	  <para>Due to the same limitations as for CD-ROMs and SCSI devices, tape
-	  drives are also not directly accessible in Interix.  However,
-	  support is in work to make tape drive access possible by using
-	  Cygwin as a bridge (similarly to audio bridged via Cygwin's
-	  esound server).</para></listitem>

-	<para>It is not necessary, in general, to have a "root" user on the
-	Windows system; any member of the local Administrators group will
-	suffice.  However, some packages currently assume that the user
-	named "root" is the privileged user.  To accommodate these, you
