 System requirements
 ===================
-To build sudo from the source distribution you need a machine running

-compiler, and the ar, make and ranlib utilities.
+To build sudo from the source distribution you need a POSIX-compliant
+operating system (any modern version of BSD, Linux or Unix should

+feature) and the ar, make and ranlib utilities.
 
 If you wish to modify the parser then you will need flex version
 2.5.2 or later and either bison or byacc (sudo comes with a pre-flex'd
 tokenizer and pre-yacc'd grammar parser).  You'll also have to
 uncomment a few lines from the Makefile or run configure with the
---with-devel option.  You can get flex via anonymous ftp from
-ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/pub/flex* as well as any GNU mirror.  You can
