+* 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
+
+* Running Unit tests
+====================
+
+You can run unit tests in individual components by running the command
+"make run-test".  If you want to run tests for a different profile (say
+'net_2_0')
+
+	make run-test PROFILE=net_2_0
+
+If you want to only run the tests in a single fixture (say
+'MonoTests.System.TypeTest'), you can use
+
+	make run-test TEST_HARNESS_FLAGS=/fixture:MonoTests.System.TypeTest
+
+* Acknowledgements
+==================
 
 Thanks a lot to Sergey Chaban for his help during the development of
 the C# compiler.
