+RPM Notes
+=========

When installing from RPMs, the demos for a particular language mapping
are included with the appropriate 'devel' RPM. For example, the Java
demos are included in the ice-java-devel RPM.
+We recommend that you copy the demo subdirectories from the RPM
+installation directory to your home directory.

Building the Demos
==================
-For your convenience, the Ice demo distribution includes all of the
-demos included in the Ice source distribution. These demos can be
-built against a pre-existing Ice distribution.

These instructions assume that you have correctly configured your
