-To build the system it is strongly advised to use the _ReactOS Build Environment
-(RosBE)._ Up-to-date versions for Windows and for Unix/GNU-Linux are available
-from our download page at: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/Build_Environment/

-Alternatively one can use Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) version 2010+. Building with MSVC is covered here: https://www.reactos.org/wiki/Building_with_MSVC

### Binaries
-To build ReactOS you must use run `configure` script in the directory you want to have builds. Choose `configure.cmd` or `configure.sh` depending on your system. Then run `ninja <modulename>` to build a module you want or just `ninja` to build all modules.

### Bootable images
## Installing
-ReactOS can only be installed on a machine that has a FAT16 or FAT32 partition
-as the active (bootable) partition. The partition on which ReactOS is to be
-installed (which may or may not be the bootable partition) must also be
-formatted as FAT16 or FAT32. ReactOS Setup can format the partitions if
-needed.

+ReactOS Setup can format the partitions if needed.
-To install ReactOS from the bootable CD distribution, extract the archive
-contents. Then burn the CD image, boot from it, and follow instructions.
+Starting 0.4.10, ReactOS can be installed using the BtrFS file system. But
+consider this as an experimental feature and thus regressions not triggered on
+FAT setup may be observed.
