 First you, as a buildbot client, need to agree a buildbot username (`myUser`) and password (`myPass`) with the buildbot admins (just pick a username and password and send it to `igloo@earth.li`).  You'll also need to decide:
 
-  * when the build(s) should happen
-  * HEAD or branch builds
+  * when the build(s) should happen (time and timezone!)
+  * build HEAD, STABLE, or alternate between the two?
   * full build (up to stage 3, with extra-libs, full testsuite, and 5 nofib runs) or a fast build (stage 2, no extra-libs, fast testsuite, no nofib runs), or something in-between
 
 Finally, if there is anything special that needs to be done for the client (e.g. if gcc is in an unusual place) then you'll need to let the admins know.
 
-Then you'll need to install buildbot and its dependencies on the machine that will be doing the nightly         build; see the [http://buildbot.sourceforge.net/ BuildBot website] for details.  NB. if you're on Windows, you'll need to install BuildBot under Cygwin using the Cygwin Python; there are various problems getting the GHC build to work via BuildBot using the native Win32 Python, so we've given up on that route for now.

 Now create and enter the directory you want the buildbot client to work in
