 The grok reference manual
 =========================
 
-The manual is written using LaTeX with support for the Python documentation
-markup. The tex sources can be compiled to HTML and PDF. To build the manual,
-you need the 'mkhowto' script from a recent Python source distribution.
-
-Build the HTML
---------------
-
-Compiling the sources into HTML::
-
-  $ mkhowto --html reference.tex
-
-The directory 'reference/' keeps all files required to display the manual after
-that call and can be put on a static webserver.
-
-Build the PDF
--------------
-
-The file 'reference.pdf' will contain the PDF version of the manual after this
-call::
-
-  $ mkhowto --pdf reference.tex
-
-Installing prerequisites on Debian and Ubuntu systems
------------------------------------------------------
-
-On recent Debian and Ubuntu systems, the following packages provide the
-required toolset for compiling the sources.
-
-The basic LaTeX infrastructure::
-
-  $ sudo apt-get install tetex-base tetex-bin tetex-extra latex2html
-
-The python-dev package provides the mkhowto script::
-
-  $ sudo apt-get install python2.4-dev
-
-This script will be located in::
-
-  /usr/lib/python2.4/doc/tools/mkhowto
+NOTE: The Grok reference manual is in the process of being migrated to a
+RestructuredText infrastructure.
