+If you unpacked this from an official release, you will find a copy of
+some pages in the doc/ subdirectory.
+
+Installation on *NIX
+--------------------
+
+NOTE!! THIS IS STILL EXPERIMENTAL. The game does not have to be
+ installed to play. The currently directory layout was not
+ designed with Unix-style installation in mind. For a
+ QUICK START see in doc/Introduction.html.
+
+The game (and the man pages) can be installed on *NIX systems into a
+standard location like this:
+
+1) Check locations and permissions in the top-level Makefile. The game
+ is installed into /usr/local by default.
+
+2) Optionally run "make" to build extensions that enable cool powerups
+ and xshm operation. Recommended
+
+3) Run "make install" as root or other user with sufficient rights.
+
+NOTE!! The game logic is still quite directory-layout dependant ATM so
+ installing is implemented by copying the whole directory into
+ /usr/local/lib/ (the location can be changed in the Makefile)
+ and making symlinks to appropriate directories. This procedure
+ will probably be cleaned up in future releases.
