+Continuing syspatch builds
+--------------------------
+
+If syspatches were already built for this release on a different machine, the
+following additional steps are required. Prepare a ${SYSPATCHES} directory
+containing all the syspatches of the release. Make a copy of the ${FAKE}
+directory and extract all the syspatches in it.
+
+e.g.
+SYSPATCHES=/path/to/syspatches
+PATCHED=${FAKEROOT}/syspatch/64-018_mds
+cp -Rp ${FAKE} ${PATCHED}
+for _s in ${SYSPATCHES}/*.tgz; do tar -C ${PATCHED} -xzphf ${_s}; done
+
+Then apply all the errata patches to the source trees.
