     NFS-RDMA will be installed by default if you simply select "install all",
     and can be specifically included by a "custom" install.
 
-    In addition, the install script will install a version of the nfs-utils that
-    is required for NFS/RDMA.  The binary installed will be named "mount.rnfs".
-    This version is not necessary for Linux Distributions with nfs-utils 1.1 or
-    later.
-
     Upon successful installation, the nfs kernel modules will be placed in the
     directory /lib/modules/'uname -a'/updates. It is recommended that you reboot
     to ensure that the correct modules are loaded.
