The README that was in the source bundle.
The README really just provides information on how to build the source package. Information on how to go from a built source tree to a running client is contained in the Quick Start Guide, which is available from docs.openafs.org However, if you just want a running client, rather than a development tree, I would strongly encourage you to use the SRPM. The packaging in the SRPM is more complete and better tested than what you get from a "make install". In particular, it will install and configure a proper RC script so that the client is correctly started and stopped. There should be an SRPM available for 1.6.0pre4 from the OpenAFS website, you can build this by simply using the 'rpmbuild' tool.
