+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, patch, bzip2, flex, bison,
+make, gettext, pkg-config, unzip, libz-dev and libc headers.
+
+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/flash.sh for remotely updating your embedded system
+via tftp.
+
+The buildroot system is documented in docs/buildroot-documentation.html.
+
+Building your own firmware you need to have access to a Linux system.
+
+Sunshine!
+ Your OpenWrt Project
