Added more hopefully useful information.

We may want to start cutting things at some point - it looks more
complicated than it really is!

This places the mininet package in /usr/lib/python-*/site-packages/,

script (mn) as well as its helper utility (mnexec.)

install all of these components (they're useful!), the kernel and
OpenFlow software requirements are descibed in steps [3] and [4],
which follow.
Many different installation options are possible; probably the minimal
semi-useful configuration would be to install Mininet itself, kernel
support if necessary, and either the reference OpenFlow switch or
Open vSwitch. This could be installed as follows, for example:
% sudo ~/mininet/util/install.sh -knvm
Respectively, this installs kernel support, core mininet dependencies,
Open vSwitch, and the Open vSwitch kernel module. If a new kernel was
installed, then a reboot may be required.
If you successfully used install.sh, congratulations! You're basically
done. Proceed to step [6] for additional advice.

6. Other notes and recommendations
If you did not install certain useful packages and you wish to later,
it may be possible to install them using install.sh.
Mininet should be run either on a machine with
no other important processes, or on a virtual machine (recommended!)
