+  There are two modes for directory path handling: "Transarc mode" and "default mode":
+  - In Transarc mode, we retain compatibility with Transarc/IBM AFS tools
+    by putting client configuaration files in /usr/vice/etc, and server
+    files in /usr/afs under the traditional directory layout.
+  - In default mode, files are located in standardized locations, usually

+  - Client programs, libraries, and related files always go in standard
+    directories under $(prefix).  This rule covers things that would go
+    into $(bindir), $(includedir), $(libdir), $(mandir), and $(sbindir).

 B  Building
 
    1. Now, you can build OpenAFS. 
 
       % make
 
-      When the build completes, you will have a complete binary tree
-      in the dest directory under the directory named for the sys_name you
-      built for, e.g. sun4x_57/dest or i386_linux22/dest 
+   2. Install your build using either "make install" to install 
+      into the current system (you will need to be root, and files
+      will be placed as appropriate for Transarc or standard paths),
+      "make install DESTDIR=/some/path" to install into an alternate 
+      directory tree, or if you configured with --enable-transarc-paths
+      make dest to create a complete binary tree in the dest directory      
+      under the directory named for the sys_name you built for,
+      e.g. sun4x_57/dest or i386_linux22/dest 
 
    2. As appropriate you can clean up or, if you're using Linux, build for
       another kernel version:
