+To install:
+
+$ cd ..
+$ R CMD INSTALL cran2deb
+
+copy cran2deb/exec/cran2deb into somewhere in your executable path (e.g.,
+/usr/local/bin, $home/bin)
+
+
+
+To configure:
+
+1. You need a web server serving from say, /var/www/cran2deb/
+
+Let ROOT be the value returned by running: cran2deb root
+
+2. create /etc/cran2deb
+   a. copy ROOT/etc/* into /etc/cran2deb
+   b. /etc/cran2deb/archive should be a symlink pointing to /var/www/cran2deb/
+
+    $ ln -s /var/www/cran2deb/ /etc/cran2deb/archive
+
+   c. modify OTHERMIRROR of /etc/cran2deb/pbuilderrc.in to point to your webserver
+
+3. cran2deb needs a persistent cache outside of R's control. therefore, create
+    /var/cache/cran2deb, writable by whichever user(s) will run cran2deb.
+4. run: cran2deb update
+5. Try building a simple package: cran2deb build zoo
+   (The result will be in /var/cache/cran2deb/results)
+
+
+$ cran2deb help
+will display a short summary of help for each cran2deb command.
