+This is the buildsystem for the OpenWrt Linux distribution.
+
+Please use "make menuconfig" to configure your appreciated
+configuration for the toolchain and firmware.
+
+You need to have installed gcc, binutils, bzip2, flex, python, perl, make,
+find, grep, diff, unzip, gawk, getopt, subversion, libz-dev and libc headers.
+
+Run "./scripts/feeds update -a" to get all the latest package definitions
+defined in feeds.conf / feeds.conf.default respectively
+and "./scripts/feeds install -a" to install symlinks of all of them into
+package/feeds/.
+
+Use "make menuconfig" to configure your image.
+
+Simply running "make" will build your firmware.
+It will download all sources, build the cross-compile toolchain, 
+the kernel and all choosen applications.
+
+You can use "scripts/flashing/flash.sh" for remotely updating your embedded
+system via tftp.
+
+The OpenWrt system is documented in docs/. You will need a LaTeX distribution
+and the tex4ht package to build the documentation. Type "make -C docs/" to build it.
+
+To build your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux, BSD or MacOSX system
+(case-sensitive filesystem required). Cygwin will not be supported because of
+the lack of case sensitiveness in the file system.
+
+
+Sunshine!
