[Scott Weitzenkamp (sweitzen)]

Look in docs/OFED_Installation_Guide.txt, you should run install.sh with
OFED.

	I look at the OFED sources only on occassions. Recently I
downloaded the OFED-1.1.tgz  from the openfabrics website. Basically I
only wanted to look at some sources in this tar ball (and not build).
After I uncompressed and expanded this tar ball I found another tar ball
openib-1.1.tgz underneath the SOURCES/ directory. I expanded this tar
ball to look at the source files. I then started to look at the sources
and this was at odds to what I expected. 
	
	I learnt that I had to run the openib-1.1/configure script to
update the sources with all the patches. I believe this is
counter-intuitive. My understanding is that one needs to run the
configure script to generate the Makefiles and set the appropriate
environment in order to build. The openib-1.1.tgz  should have had all
the patches applied and there should be no need to run configure to look
at the updated sources.
