+a supported primary or at least secondary [*] platform.
+The following table uses a row for each supported platform and gives
+three names for it in different columns. You will find that OpenPKG
+software uses <i>arch-os</i> to create filenames and the same ones are
+used on the ftp download site. Humans and documentation use what is
+shown below <i>platform</i>. To ensure that we really talk about the
+same thing, enter the <b>uname</b> command in a shell and find the
+output of the rightmost column.

+<h3>System tools</h3>
+We assume a Unix system with minimal toolset for binaries. Sources
+require development tools like <tt>make</tt> and <tt>[g]cc</tt> as well.
+There is no ultimate standard that tells what a minimal toolset is, so
+we have to traverse some fog here. For regular installations with an
+existing OpenPKG bootstrap, indicated by an executable
+<tt><i>prefix</i>/bin/rpm</tt>, there are nearly zero additional system
+requirements. However, the bootstrap process needs a little help and
+requires <tt>sh</tt>, <tt>tar</tt>, <tt>ftp</tt> and <tt>uudecode</tt>

+install a compiler package from source, you need a vendor compiler

<h2>Source or Binary</h2>
While we strongly recommend you to use source packages whenever possible, the
absence of development tools is the number one reason which enforces the
