 To run OpenRA, several files are needed from the original game disks.
-
-The required files for the Red Alert mod are:
-EITHER:
-	* conquer.mix
-	* temperat.mix
-	* interior.mix
-	* snow.mix
-	* sounds.mix
-	* allies.mix
-	* russian.mix
-OR:
-	* main.mix
-AND:
-	* redalert.mix
-
-These need to be copied into the mods/ra/packages/ directory.

-
-The required files for the Command and Conquer mod are:
-	* cclocal.mix
-	* speech.mix
-	* conquer.mix
-	* sounds.mix
-	* tempicnh.mix
-	* temperat.mix
-	* winter.mix
-	* desert.mix
-
-These need to be copied into the mods/cnc/packages/ directory.
-If you have a case-sensitive filesystem you must change the filenames to
-lower case.
-
-The files can be downloaded from:
-http://open-ra.org/get-dependency.php?file=ra-packages for the Red Alert files and
-http://open-ra.org/get-dependency.php?file=cnc-packages for the Command & Conquer files.
-
-Alternatively:
-Red Alert and C&C have been released by EA Games as freeware. They can be
-downloaded from http://www.commandandconquer.com/classic
-Unfortunately the installer is 16-bit and so won’t run on 64-bit operating
-systems. This can be worked around by using the Red Alert Setup Manager 
-	(http://ra.afraid.org/html/downloads/utilities-3.html). 
-Make sure you apply the no-CD protection fix so all the files needed 
-are installed to the hard drive.
+These files are now downloaded and installed by the game,
+so so no explicit action is required.
 
 Dependencies - Make sure you have these installed, or you'll 
 have very strange errors.
