+The script is used to prepare a Linux system to run LON-CAPA, and can also be
+used to check the configuration of a system on which LON-CAPA has already been installed.  Typically, though, you will run this script only once, when you first install LON-CAPA.
+</p>
+<p>
+The script will analyze your system to determine which actions are recommended.  The script will then prompt you to choose the actions you would like taken.
+Once a choice has been entered for all nine possible actions, required changes will be made.
+</p>
+<p>The possible actions are:
 <ul>
-<li>pwauth.c:692: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘strlen’</li>
+<li>Create the www user/group</li>
+<li>Install the package LON-CAPA uses to authenticate users.</li>
+<li>Set-up the MySQL database</li>
+<li>Set-up MySQL permissions</li>
+<li>Configure Apache web server</li>
+<li>Configure start-up of services</li>
+<li>Check firewall settings</li>
+<li>Stop services not used by LON-CAPA,  e.g., services for a print server: cups daemon</li> 
+<li>Download LON-CAPA source code in readiness for installation</li>
 </ul>
