+post-CVS checkout instructions:
+
+If you check out the module "TYPO3core" from SourceForce CVS you will have to make a few symlinks in the
+checked out source before it will work for you. Follow these guidelines:
+
+- Go to the module directory (default is "TYPO3core")
+- Create symlink for tslib:
+ ln -s typo3/sysext/cms/tslib
+- Go to typo3/ folder:
+ cd typo3/
+- Create symlinks for t3lib/ and other things:
+ ln -s ../t3lib
+ ln -s ../t3lib/thumbs.php
+ ln -s ../t3lib/gfx
+- Finally, go to the t3lib/fonts/ dir:
+ cd t3lib/fonts/
+- Create two symlinks to fonts:
+ ln -s vera.ttf verdana.ttf
+ ln -s nimbus.ttf arial.ttf
+
+As the last operation you have to copy the global extensions into their position in the typo3/ folder!
+The global extensions are not found there in the TYPO3core module because they are technically not a part
+of the core although they are distributed along with it whenever you get hold of the tar files. So from
+the most recent tar package of TYPO3 source you can find that directory and copy in here.
+Notice that each global extension might infact have its own CVS project somewhere, like on
+SourceForge.net, project "TYPO3 Extension Development Platform".
+
+Thats all. This procedure is only needed when you check out the source for the first time ever.
