 <h3>Source Distribution</h3>
 
+The main "compiler" source distribution is about 6 Mb.
+This includes the compiler, standard library,
+debugger, profiler, and other tools.
+
+There is also a small "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.
+
+Finally there is also a "tests" distribution which contains our
+test suite.  This may be useful if you are modifying the compiler,
+or porting it to a new system.
