+I. Standard-Installation
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ngIRCd is developed for UNIX-like systems, which means, that the installation
+on a modern UNIX-like system should be no problem. The only thing is, that
+the system should be supported by GNU automake and GNU autoconf ("configure").
+
+The normal installation is like that:
+
+   1) tar xzf ngircd-<Version>.tar.gz
+   2) cd ngircd-<Version>
+   3) ./autogen.sh	[only necessary when using CVS]
+   4) ./configure
+   5) make
+   6) make install
+
+3): "autogen.sh"
+
+The first step, autogen.sh, is only necessary if the configure-script isn't
+already generated. This never happens in official ("stable") releases in
+tar.gz-archieves, but when using the CVS system.
+
+The next is therefore only interesting for developpers.
+
+autogen.sh produces the makefile.in's, which are necessary for the configure
+script it self, and some more files for make. For this step, there must be
+GNU automake and GNU autoconf (in recent versions).
+
+(again: "end users" do not need this step!)
+
+to 4): "./configure"
+
+The configure-script is used to detect local system dependancies.
+
+In the perfect case, configure should recognize all needed libraries, header
+and so on. If this shouldn't work, "./configure --help" shows more options.
+
+to 5): "make"
+
+The make command uses the Makefiles produced by configure and compiles the
+ngIRCd daemon.
+
+to 6): "make install"
+
+Use "make install" to install the server and a sample configuration file on
+the local system. For this step, root privileges are necessary. If there is
+already an older configuration file present, it won't be overwritten.
+
+This are the files that are installed:
+
+- /usr/local/sbin/ngircd: exectable server
+- /usr/local/etc/ngircd.conf: sample configuration, if not there
+
+
+II. Useful make-targets
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Makefile produced by the configure-script contain always these useful
+targets:
+
+ - clean: delete every product from the compiler/linker
+   next step: -> make
+
+ - distclean: plus erase all generated Makefiles
+   next step: -> ./configure
+
+ - maintainer-clean: erease all automatic generated files
+   next step: -> ./autogen.sh
+
+
+III. Sample configuration file ngircd.conf
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In the sample configuration file, there are comments beginning with "#" OR
+";" -- this is only for the better understanding of the code.
+
+The file is seperated in three blocks: [Global], [Operator], [Server]. In
+the [Gobal] part, there is the main configuration, like the server-name
+and the ports, on which the server should be listening. In the [Operator]
+section, the server-operators are defined and [Server] is the section,
+where the server-links are configured.
+
+The meaning of the variables in the configuration file is explained in the 
+"doc/sample-ngircd.conf", which is also the sample configuration file in
+/usr/local/etc after running "make install" (if you don't already have one).
+
+
+IV. Command line options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+These parameters could be passed to the ngIRCd:
+
+-f, --config <file>
+	The daemon uses the file <file> as configuration file rather than
+	the standard configuration /usr/local/etc/ngircd.conf.
+
+-n, --nodaemon
+	ngIRCd should be running as a foreground process.
+
+-p, --passive
+	Server-links won't be automatically established.
+
+--configtest
+	Reads, validates and dumps the configuration file as interpreted
+	by the server. Then exits.
+
+Use "--help" to see a short help text describing all available parameters
+the server understands, with "--version" the ngIRCd shows its version
+number. In both cases the server exits after the output.
