-Users of earlier Emacs distributions (including Emacs 19) or people
-craving for new features and bugs can get a copy of the @RefTeX{}
-distribution from the maintainer's web page.  @xref{Imprint}, for more
-information.  The following instructions will guide you through the
-process of installing such a distribution.
-
-@subsection Building and Installing
-
-Note: Currently installation is supported for Emacs only.  XEmacs users
-might want to refer to the @RefTeX{} package available through the
-package system of XEmacs.
-
-@subsubheading Installation with make
-
-In order to install RefTeX, unpack the distribution and edit the header
-of the Makefile.  Basically, you need to change the path specifications
-for Emacs Lisp files and info files.  Also, enter the name of your Emacs
-executable (usually either @samp{emacs} or @samp{xemacs}).
-
-Then, type
-
-@example
-make
-make install
-@end example
-
-to compile and install the code and documentation.
-
-Per default @RefTeX{} is installed in its own subdirectory which might
-not be on your load path.  In this case, add it to load path with a
-command like the following, replacing the sample directory with the one
-where @RefTeX{} is installed in your case.
-
-@example
-(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/reftex")
-@end example
-
-Put this command into your init file before other @RefTeX{}-related
-settings.
-
-@subsubheading Installation by Hand
-
-If you want to get your hands dirty, there is also the possibility to
-install by manually copying files.
-
-@enumerate a
-@item
-Copy the reftex*.el lisp files to a directory on your load path.  Make
-sure that no old copy of @RefTeX{} shadows these files.
-@item
-Byte compile the files.  The sequence of compiling should be:
-reftex-var.el, reftex.el, and then all the others.
-@item
-Copy the info file reftex.info to the info directory.
-@end enumerate
-
-@subsection Loading @RefTeX{}

-In order to make the most important functions for entering @RefTeX{}
-mode available add the following line to your init file.
