+@subsection Win9x/Win2000 support
+
+FFmpeg is built by default for Windows XP and above. To run it on any Windows
+version prior to XP, you may have to disable network support. Additionally, for
+Windows 98/Me you must install KernelEx from:
+http://sourceforge.net/projects/kernelex/
+
 @section BeOS
 
 BeOS support is broken in mysterious ways.
