Subject: [PATCH] The readme seen by people who install from the sourcecode ..
 not sure about the $ .. doesn't that have something to do with source code? 
 Grabbed the feed idea from Erik Andersens ending in his README .. and the fun
 thing to .. but that is taken for granted.

+Program:  gBootRoot  pronounced "bOOtrOOt"
+License:  GNU General Public License
+
+The Makefile included with this source package doesn't attempt
+to figure out whether your system has the proper requirements.
+It may seem like a great idea to have a configure script, but
+these things can fail, besides gbootroot is a program designed for people
+who intend to build distributions and boot disks, so understanding what
+things are required to get gbootroot to work completely can be quite 
+beneficial.  At the very least, do a "make", and try gbootroot because the 
+program will tell you what things are missing - hopefully nothing - and then 
+you can refer to this README for help.
+
+Out of the box this program works with the i386 architecture, people using
+other architectures will need to compile genext2fs and user-mode-linux if
+they want full functionality.
+
+
+Perl Modules:
+#############
+
+Gtk-Perl
+--------
+
+Version 0.7002 or greater.
+http://freshmeat.net/projects/gtk-perl
+
+
+Binaries:
+#########  
+
+Genext2fs
+---------
+genext2fs/genext2fs (included and already compiled for i386)
+cd genext2fs; make  (other architectures)
+
+User-Mode-Linux
+---------------
+user-mode-linux/usr/bin/{linux, uml_*}  (included and already compiled 
+		                                              for i386)
+user-mode-linux/usr/lib/{modules*tar}   (included and already compiled 
+                                                              for i386)
+
+If you use a different architecture you will need to get kernel source
+from www.kernel.org, and then a matching uml-patch from 
+http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=429.  There's good 
+instructions on how to do this at 
+http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/UserModeLinux-HOWTO-2.html.
+Then put the uml kernel and helpers in the appropriate directory; you can
+put the modules in a Replacements directory later on (see FAQ).
+
+
+Boot Methods:
+#############
+
+2 disk compression
+------------------
+
+This method will tell you when any of these utilities are missing:
+
+ash  lilo  bzip2  file
+
+
+Root Methods:
+#############
+
+Yard
+----
+
+Watch the verbosity box, it will be obvious when a required command is missing.
+Make sure you have this file installed on your system:
+
+file
+
+
+Important Configurations:
+#########################
+
+"chmod 4755 /usr/bin/uml_net" so normal users can have network capabilities.
+
+
+Documentation:
+#############
+
+Documentaion and FAQ is in doc/html/index.html
+
+
+Have fun!
