+From this point on, modularized Boost behaves a lot like pre-modularized Boost.
+
+== Experimenting ==
+
+If you want to build b2 and Boost source libraries, run the usual command line script. For Windows, that would be:
+
+{{{
+bootstrap
+.\b2
+}}}
+
+For POSIX-like systems, it is probably:
+
+{{{
+./bootstrap.sh
+./b2
+}}}
+
+If b2 isn't already in your path, you probably want to add it now.
+
+Testing is done just the way it has always been done. For example,
+
+{{{
+cd libs/system/test
+b2
+}}}
+
+should run the tests for Boost.system, all of which should pass.
