Installing ProteanOS
====================
-First decide which "suite" of ProteanOS you wish to install. Currently only one
-suite is available: `dev/trunk`.
+First decide which "suite" of ProteanOS you wish to install. `rel/trunk` is a
+rolling release that receives updates free of known new bugs; it is recommended
+for regular users. `dev/trunk` receives direct package uploads and should be
+used by ProteanOS developers.
Next decide where to install ProteanOS. Replace `$root` below with the path to
which you want ProteanOS installed.
If you installed prokit to your system, simply run:
- $ sudo prokit install dev/trunk $root
+ $ sudo prokit install $suite $root
Otherwise, from your prokit build directory, run:
- $ sudo ./prokit install dev/trunk $root
+ $ sudo ./prokit install $suite $root
