 To build and install I2P from source, you must first build
 and package up the appropriate installer by running:
 
-  ant pkg
+  	ant pkg
+
+On non-x86, use one of the following instead:
+	ant installer-linux
+	ant installer-freebsd
+	ant installer-osx
+
 
 
 This will produce a few key files:
 * install.jar:    the GUI and console installer
 * i2pinstall.exe: the GUI and console installer wrapped for cross-platform execution
+                  (only created with ant pkg)
 * i2pupdate.zip:  the update package
+                  (only created with ant pkg)
 
 From there, you can run the headless (console mode) installer:
   java -jar i2pinstall.exe -console
+or
+  java -jar i2pinstall.jar -console
 
 Or run the GUI installer:
   java -jar i2pinstall.exe
+or
+  java -jar i2pinstall.jar
+or on Windows, just double-click on i2pinstall.exe.
 
 Or move the i2pupdate.zip file into an existing installation directory and restart.
