+Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
+Linux systems through cross-compilation.
+
+The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
+document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
+Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html
+
 To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:
 
-1) run 'make'
-2) select which packages you wish to compile
+1) run 'make menuconfig'
+2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
 3) run 'make'
 4) wait while it compiles
-5) Use your shiney new root filesystem.  Depending on which sortof
-    root filesystem you selecter, you may want to loop mount it,
-    chroot into it, loop mount it and then nfs mount that on your
-    target device, burn it to flash, or whatever is appropriate
-    for your target system.
+5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images
 
 You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!
