From(Dale R. Worley)
OK, here's a patch to README so that people know to read
Documentation/Changes to see if all their packages are up to date.

    You should now have the sources correctly installed.
 
+SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
+
+   Compiling and running the 2.1.x kernels requires up-to-date
+   versions of various software packages.  Consult
+   ./Documentation/Changes for the minimum version numbers required
+   and how to get updates for these packages.  Beware that using
+   excessively old versions of these packages can cause indirect
+   errors that are very difficult to track down, so don't assume that
+   you can just update packages when obvious problems arise during
+   build or operation.
+
 CONFIGURING the kernel:
 
  - Do a "make config" to configure the basic kernel.  "make config"
