-<userinput>sed "s/XConsole/#XConsole/" Makefile | make -f -:</userinput>
-This will comment out the XConsole variable in the Makefile and pipe the
-output of sed (the modified Makefile) directly to the make program. This
-is an alternate and more efficient way to direct the output to a file
-and tell make to use that alternate file. The XConsole build is disabled
-because it can't be build yet because we don't have X installed yet.
+<userinput>make XSCPT='' install:</userinput>
+This will set the Makefile variable XSCPT to an empty value so that
+the XConsole installation is disabled. Otherwise "Make install" tries to
+copy the file XConsole to /usr/X11R6/bin.
+And that directory does not exist, because X is not installed yet.
