+Xournal Installation instructions
+=================================
+
+Binary installer:
+-----------------
+
+The tarball includes an executable file for Linux IA32.  If your setup
+is sufficiently standard, you might be able to use the binary installer
+script, "install-binary".
+
+Either run this script as root, to install xournal in /usr/local/bin
+(and the dependencies in /usr/local/share/xournal), or as any user, to
+install xournal in your home directory.
+
+You will still need to have gtk+ 2.4 or later and the other required
+libraries installed on your system (see below).
+
+Otherwise, read on for compilation and installation instructions.

+   (packages libgnomeprint22-devel, libgnomeprintui22-devel, and dependencies)
+
+* TO RUN xournal:
+
