+The main "mercury-compiler" source distribution is about 10 Mb.
+This includes the compiler, standard library,
+debugger, profiler, and other tools.
+(Note that this does <em>not</em> include all the sources needed to build
+the <a href="<?echo $root?>/download/gcc_backend.html">
+native-code back-end</a>; for that you also need the
+"mercury-gcc" and "gcc" distributions.
+See <a href="<?echo $root?>/download/gcc_backend.html">here</a>
+for details.)
+
+<p>
+
+There is also a small "mercury-extras" distribution which contains a number
+of useful additional libraries. This is distributed separately,
+mainly for copyright reasons (some of the additional libraries do
+not meet the Debian Free Software Guidelines).
+We strongly recommend that everyone who downloads the "compiler"
+distribution should also download the "extras" distribution.
+
+<p>
+
+Finally there is also a "mercury-tests" distribution which contains our
+test suite. This may be useful if you are modifying the compiler,
+or porting it to a new system.
