+** Selecting full pathname of the "rmt" binary.
+
+Previous versions of tar always looked for "rmt" binary in the
+directory "/etc/rmt". However, the "rmt" program included
+in the distribution was installed under "$prefix/libexec/rmt".
+To fix this discrepancy, tar now looks for "$prefix/libexec/rmt".
+If you do not want this behavior, specify full path name of
+"rmt" binary using DEFAULT_RMT_DIR variable, e.g.:
+
+./configure DEFAULT_RMT_DIR=/etc
+
+If you already have a copy of "rmt" installed and wish to use it
+instead of the version supplied with the distribution, use --with-rmt
+option:
+
+./configure --with-rmt=/etc/rmt
+
+This will also disable building the included version of rmt.
+
+** Installing backup scripts.
+
+This version of tar is shipped with the shell scripts for producing
+incremental backups (dumps) and restoring filesystems from them.
+The name of the backup script is "backup". The name of the
+restore script is "restore". They are installed in "$prefix/sbin"
+directory.
+
+Use option --enable-backup-scripts to compile and install these
+scripts.
