+
+* Building Individual Directories
+=================================
+
+You can build individual components in the hierarchy by running the command
+"make", and to install it use "make install".
+
+If you need to build a given component on the 2.x profile, you must use
+the following command:
+
+ make PROFILE=net_2_0
+
+And to install:
+
+ make PROFILE=net_2_0 install
+
